What is the difference between absolute variation and relative variation?

relative change is a proprotional change where absolute change is a complete change.........


What is the difference between absolute deviation and relative deviation?

absolute deviation is a difference between say two numbers. The result has the same units as the two numbers have. Relative deviation is a ratio and so it is a pure number without any units.


How do you calculate absolute frequencies?

Absolute frequencies are calculated by first identifying intervals based on your data and then identifying the number of values within your data set that lie within these interval. Relative frequencies divide the absolute frequencues by the number of values in the set. It is a good practice to provide the absolute frequencies, perhaps in a bar chart of relative frequencies as a number above each bar.

What is the difference between absolute frequency and relative frequency?

absolute frequency is a term decribing the total number of trials you did. a relative frequency is the number of measurements in an interval of a frequency distribution. or the ratio of the number of times an event occurs in a series of trials of a chance experiment to the number of trials of the experiment performed. so the difference is one is the total trials, and the other...well it depends on which definition you picked...

The relative error depends on the true value of the measurement. That information has not been provided.


What is the absolute measurement of time?

Time does not have an absolute measurement. It is a conclusion of Einstein's theory of Relativity that all things are relative, including time. Time passes at a particular speed in a particular frame of reference.

What does your value of relative error mean?

The height of a plant is 45 cm with an estimated absolute error of 0.9 cm what percent is the relative error?

To get the relative error is the maximum error over the measurement. So the maximum error is the absolute error divided by 2. So the maximum error is 0.45. The relative error is 0.45 over 45 cm.
