a meteorologist predicted that there would be 4.0 inches of rainfall from a storm. instead, there were 6.2 inches of rainfall. what is the percent error rounded to the nearest whole percent? ______%

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate absolute error

$|6.2 - 4.0| = 2.2$

Step2: Divide by actual value

$\frac{2.2}{6.2}$

Step3: Convert to percentage

$\frac{2.2}{6.2} \times 100\% \approx 35.48\%$

Step4: Round to whole percent

Round $35.48\%$ to nearest whole number

Answer:

35%
