Answer 2

A model with 12 squares labeled exact value and 3 squares labeled error.

Explanation:

The proportion of error is the number of errors divided by the number of trials. The percentage is the proportion multiplied by 100.

A model with 12 squares labeled exact value and 3 squares labeled error.

3/12 = 0.25

0.25*100 = 25%

This is the answer.

A model with 10 squares labeled exact value and 5 squares labeled error.

5/10 = 0.5

0.5*100 = 50%

A model with 9 squares labeled exact value and 3 squares labeled error.

3/9 = 0.3333

0.3333*100 = 33.33%

A model with 8 squares labeled exact value and 4 squares labeled error.

4/8 = 0.5

0.5*100 = 50%
