(experimental value - accepted value)/accepted value x 100
This is an absolute value, so ignore any minus sign.

When you calculate results that are aiming for known values, the percent error formula is useful tool for determining the precision of your calculations. The formula is given by: The experimental value is your calculated value, and the theoretical value is your known value.
Percent error refers to the percentage difference between a measured value and an accepted value. To calculate the percentage error for density of pennies, the formula is given as: percent error = [(measured value - accepted value) / accepted value] x 100.
Percentage error = Value experimental-Value acceptedValueaccepted x 100
the precentage of error in data or an experiment

You have to calculate the amount of error that can be expected in your experiment, and if the results exceed the experimental error, they can be considered to be meaningful. We would really have to discuss a specific experiment to see how this principle works.
to ensure your experiment is precise and to prevent error to happen during experiment
percent error :)
Yes, your percent error can be over 100%. This means that somewhere during your experiment you made a big error.
It means theres a high amount of variation between the results used to calculate the mean value for a particular sample or experiment
Percent error is typically used to describe the difference between an expected value and an observed value (measured in an experiment). To calculate percent error, you must know the expected (or theoretical) value, determined from reference manuals and formulas. Percent error = [(actual measured value)/(expected value) - 1] x 100% Let's say that you do a chemistry experiment, where you expect to use 30 mL of a hydrochloric acid solution to neutralize a prepared solution of sodium hydroxide. When you perform the experiment, you actually use 30.2 mL of hydrochloric acid solution. Percent error = [(30.2 mL) / (30 mL) - 1] x 100% = 0.667 % error
When you calculate results that are aiming for known values, the percent error formula is useful tool for determining the precision of your calculations. The formula is given by: The experimental value is your calculated value, and the theoretical value is your known value.

It is a measure measurement of the amount of error made in an experiment. It is obtained by comparing the actual result, with the result gotten from the experiment. % error = [(experimental value - true value) / true value] x 100
