find the absolute and relative errors in the following situation. the actual body temperature of an animal is 24.4°f, but the thermometer reads 24.52°f. the absolute error is °f. (simplify your answer. round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

find the absolute and relative errors in the following situation. the actual body temperature of an animal is 24.4°f, but the thermometer reads 24.52°f. the absolute error is °f. (simplify your answer. round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall absolute - error formula

The formula for absolute error is $| \text{Measured value}-\text{True value}|$. Let the measured value $M = 24.52^{\circ}F$ and the true value $T=24.4^{\circ}F$.

Step2: Calculate the absolute error

$|M - T|=|24.52 - 24.4|$. $24.52-24.4 = 0.12$. So the absolute error is $0.12^{\circ}F$.

Answer:

$0.12$
