Percent error formula?
Divide the calculated or estimated error by the magnitude of the measurement. Take the absolute value of the result, that is, if it is negative, convert to positive. This would make the percent error = | error / measurement |.
When an error of 1 percent is made in the length of a square the percentage of error in the area of a square will be?
area= side^2 let the symbol # denote error in measurement #area/area= 2(#length/length) #area/area*100= 2(#length/length)*100 percent error in area= 2*percent error in length=2% 2 per cent
What is a percent error?
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
Are percent deviation and percent error the same?
no
Can the answer of a percent error problem be 300?
Yes, your percent error can be over 100%. This means that somewhere during your experiment you made a big error.
