Activity 1: Errors and the powers of percentages

Students use real data to compare the daily forecast with the actual number of people who came to the Emergency Department of a hospital, to evaluate the effectiveness of the PAPT. They will gain insight into the way in which a prediction tool can be evaluated.

Students calculate absolute, relative and percentage errors, and compare the usefulness of the measures.
