If it's high that means it's very off and away from the actual value. If you find a low percent error it is very close or close to the true value.
no
Yes, your percent error can be over 100%. This means that somewhere during your experiment you made a big error.
what is the number supposed to be if you git 7 cm? Percent error is the percentage that you're incorrect by, so you need another measurement. to do it, you find the difference and then divide by the original so (7-x)/true value then multiply by 100 to get percentage.
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 |.
The difference between low percent error and high percent error is one is low and the other is high
No; they are not the same.
The difference: -age(hey, it's not wrong...)In general, probably not - percent and percentage are often used interchangeably. The context of use may warrant a difference though, if strict semantics are being followed:"Percent error" would refer to the the maximum potential difference between what a value could be, and what that value is stated to be. "Percentage error", in such a scenario, would refer to an erroneous percentage (as in, the percentage itself is incorrect).
Percent error is used when you are comparing your result to a known or accepted value. It is the absolute value of the difference of the values divided by the accepted value, and written as a percentage. Percent error is equal to the difference divided by the known times 100 percent.
If you mean percent error of 3.14 versus pi, which is 3.14159..., the error is only 0.05%
If it's high that means it's very off and away from the actual value. If you find a low percent error it is very close or close to the true value.
It is the observed error.
The Percent error for this problem right here is 3% .
An error is the difference between a predicted value and the actual, observed, value. The percent error tells the user how close or how far off one was from the actual value in the form of a percentage.

relative error.
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
