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
It is 100*(Calculated Value - True Value)/True Value
Look on the equipment for where it says the plus or minus figure for accuracy (for a burette it is usually + and _ 0.1cm3) divide this by the amount you measured , times 100 to make it a percentage. ---- ---- Percentage Error = Maximum Error / Measured Value X 100 For example.Maximum Error for the following apparatus are:Balance = +/- 0.01Pippette = +/- 0.1 And the Measured value for each are:Balance = 0.15Pippette = 25 Then...the percentage error is:Balance percentage error = 0.01 / 0.15 X 100 = 66.66%Pippette percentage error = 0.1 / 25 X 100 = 0.3% You can now also work out your maximum total error.Maximum total Percentage error = Balance Percentage error + Pippette Percentage errorMaximum total percentage error = 66.66 + 0.4 = 67.06%
If you divide by seven instead of multiplying by seven, you are off by a factor of 49. Example, to calculate the percentage: 100 x 7 = 700, 100 / 7 = 14.29. The percentage error is about 98%.

The fixed error on a non-digital thermometer is 0.5oC. The percentage error is worked out by dividing 50 by the reading you have taken from the thermometer.

The span error is calculated by taking the span error and dividing it by the original measurement then multiplying by 100. The value gives us the span error as a percentage.

This error depends on the type of your thermometer; each thermometer has a specific error in-scripted on the tube or label.

Directly, neither. However, if you know the true value you can calculate the range.
To calculate the percentage error in a 5ml graduated pipette, you need to know the least count or uncertainty of the pipette. Divide the uncertainty by the volume (5ml) and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage error. For example, if the uncertainty is ±0.1 ml, the percentage error would be 0.1/5 * 100 = 2%.
