What is Calculated by subtracting the experimental value from the accepted value dividing the difference by the accepted value then multiplying by 100?

Answer 1

The process you described calculates the percent error in an experiment. It quantifies the difference between an experimental value and an accepted or theoretical value, providing insight into the accuracy of the experimental results. The formula is: Percent Error = (\frac{(\text{Accepted Value} - \text{Experimental Value})}{\text{Accepted Value}} \times 100). This metric is commonly used in scientific experiments to assess the reliability of measurements.
