∙ 13y agoA percentage error is 100*(measurement - true value)/true valueThe percentage error is negative if the measured (or calculated) value is smaller that the true value.
Of course. Your answer can be a smidgen too big or a smidgen too small.
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%
yes, it is. The smaller the measurement, the higher the percentage error.

percentage error= experimental value-accepted value/ accepted value x 100 (percentage error is negative only if the accepted value is larger than the experimental value) percentage error= 9.67-9.82/9.82 x 100 percentage error= -1.6
Go find out.Or:(calculated value) - (actual value)---------------------------------------- * 100(%) = percentage of error(actual value)(if the top value is negative, just switch the two or multiply by -1)
Percentage Error is: ~1.4% (1.39049826188%)

Percentage error measures the error in relation to the quantity measured. For example if something weighs 100 grams with a possible error of plus or minus 5 grams, this is an error of 5%
yes, it is. The smaller the measurement, the higher the percentage error.
what is the percent error of 12m
The percentage error in the area of the square will be twice the percentage error in the length of the square. This is because the error in the length affects both the length and width of the square, resulting in a compounded effect on the area. Therefore, if there is a 1 percent error in the length, the percentage error in the area would be 2 percent.
an error is the difference between a predicted value and the actual value. % errors tell you how close or how far you came to the actual answer is the form of a percentage. Mathematically: [(accepted value-measured value) / accepted lValue] * 100% note: if your answer is negative it means you were, for example, 15% short of the actual answer
Given a true value and the measured value,the error is measured value - true value;the relative error is (measured value - true value)/true value, andthe percentage error is 100*relative error.
