Q. Harold ran in a 11-mile race. He estimated his average running speed to be 1010 miles per hour, but it was actually 9.99.9 miles per hour. What is the percent error for his estimate?\newlineIf necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.\newline\newline____%\%
  1. Calculate Absolute Error: Calculate the absolute error between Harold's estimated speed and his actual speed.
  2. Calculate Percent Error: Calculate the percent error using the formula: Percent Error = (Absolute ErrorActual Value)×100%(\frac{\text{Absolute Error}}{\text{Actual Value}}) \times 100\%.
  3. Round Percent Error: Round the percent error to the nearest tenth.
