Question

suppose you use a pitcher to to estimate 1.25 qt of water ( experimental volume) . You later measured the volume more precisely and found it to be 1.34 qt (accepted volume) what is the percent error in your initial measurement. be sure to report your answer to the proper number of significant figures ​

Answer 1

The percent error in the initial measurement would be 6.47%

Percent Error

Percent error in any measurement is mathematically given as:

                    absolute error/true measurement x 100%

In this case;

True measurement = 1.34 qt

Absolute Error = 1.34 - 1.25

                         = 0.09 qt

Percent error = 0.09/1.34 x 100%

                      = 6.47%
