Using it's concept, it is found that the percent error for the amount of snowfall was of 51.85%.

The percent error of an amount is the absolute value of the difference between the actual amount and the expected amount, multiplied by 100% and divided by the expected amount.

In this problem:

  • Expected amount: 6.75 inches.
  • Actual amount: 10.25 inches.
