Known result = 16.100 g
For a measurement of x g, the % error is calculated s
[tex]\% error= 100(\frac{|x-16.100|}{16.100} )[/tex]
Create a table that calculates the %error for each measurement
x %error
---------- ---------
16.009 0.565
15.780 1.988
16.110 0.062
15.990 0.683
From the calculated results, it s clear that the measurement of 16.110 g has the least error, and it is, therefore, the most accurate.
Answer:
The most accurate measurement is 16.110 g.
