(error / result) * 100 = .... e.g. a mass baance total error is 0.01. I have a readig of 170g so the error would be (0.01/170)*100 = 0.00588g error hope that helps sorry that is wrong btw this is the right formula % error = [accepted value - measured value /divided by/ accepted value] multipled by 100

What is more clearly specified the uncertainty of quantity the numerical or percentage error?

If the estimated value is given, then calculating the numerical error from the percentage error, or the other way around, is a trivial exercise. If the estimated value is not known then it is impossible to tell which of the two is clearer.

What is the error propagation in numerical methods?

Error propagation in numerical analysis is just calculating the uncertainty or error of an approximation against the actual value it is trying to approximate. This error is usually shown as either an absolute error, which shows how far away the approximation is as a number value, or as a relative error, which shows how far away the approximation is as a percentage value.

What is it called when a scientist makes a mistake and does the experiment again?

Trial and error is when someone tries something and it doesn't work (the error) so they try again (a new trial) and again until they get the experiment right or get the results they want.Scientists usually think through all possible options, to minimize error. If the results don't come up even with any way of checking, then they know something is wrong. It is highly unlikely, and usually doesn't happen. The more important the experiment, the more time the scientist will spend calculating, and recalculating the possible ways the experiment can occur, or have problems.


Why do you need to calculate standard deviation and relative error?

to ensure your experiment is precise and to prevent error to happen during experiment
