5. Grace estimated her height to be 6 feet, whereas she was actually 5 feet tall. Calculate the percentage error in measurement.
Correct Incorrect Using the formula for percent error: Percent error = (error amount / accepted value). In this case, the error is 1 foot, and the accepted value is 5 feet. Therefore, percent error = (1 / 5) * 100 = 20%.
