We have been given that an estimated measurement was guessed of 10.4 ml and the actual measurement was 9.7 ml.
Let us find error percent of our given value.
[tex]\text{Error percent}=\frac{\text{Estimated measurement- Actual measurement }}{\text{Actual measurement}} \cdot 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Error percent}=\frac{10.4-9.7}{9.7} \cdot 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Error percent}=\frac{0.7}{9.7} \cdot 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Error percent}=0.07216494845 \cdot 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Error percent}=7.216494845\approx 7.22 [/tex]
Therefore, error percentage of the measurement is 7.22%.
Answer
percent error = 6.73%
Solution
Percentage error expresses as percentage the differences between actual vale and the estimated value.It is mainly used in Chemistry and other Science field
An estimated measurement was guessed of 10.4 ml and the actual measurement was 9.7 ml.
percent error = mode of [ (measured - actual)/actual] x 100
Here Measured = 10.4 ml
Actual = 9.7 ml
percent error =mode of [(10.4 - 9.7)/9.7] x 100 =7.21%
