Question

what is the % error? % error = $\frac{|accepted - average|}{accepted}$ × 100 2 7.73 3 7.84 average 7.83 7.86% error 0.0300% error 0.382% error

Explanation:

Step1: Identify values

Accepted value = 7.80, Average value = 7.83

Step2: Calculate difference

$|7.80 - 7.83|= 0.03$

Step3: Apply % - error formula

$\text{% Error}=\frac{|7.80 - 7.83|}{7.80}\times100=\frac{0.03}{7.80}\times100$
$\text{% Error}=\frac{3}{7.80}\approx0.382\%$

Answer:

0.382% error
