This is termed the accuracy of the measurement.
This value is variable and different for each type of measurement. The error can be absolute or relative. A measurement without any error doesn't exist.
The closeness of a measurement to the actual value being measured is defined as accuracy. Accuracy reflects how well a measurement aligns with the true value, indicating the degree of correctness in the measurement process. Higher accuracy means that the measured value is very close to the actual or true value. In contrast, precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements, which may not necessarily be accurate.
Absolute error is the difference between an estimated or measured value and it's actually value.For Example:To determine the absolute error you would have to have a measurement or an estimate of whatever this object is. At which point you would take the difference between the estimated value and the actual value.For example: 21.571 is the True value 20.000 is the Recorded Value.Thus: (True value) - (Recorded Value) = Absolute error (21.571) - (20.000) = 1.571

This is termed the accuracy of the measurement.
The closeness to the actual value is called the accuracy. The reproducibility of the measurement is call the precision.

Refers to how close a measurement is to the true or actual value.

The percent error is calculated by taking the absolute difference between the measured value and actual value, dividing it by the actual value, and then multiplying by 100. If the actual weight is not provided, the percent error cannot be calculated.

Precision is how close your measurements are. Accuracy is how close your measurements are to the actual measurement.
