Answer:

percent error

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of an error to an accepted value is called a percent error because ratio means the relationship in terms of quantity between two values given in relation to the number or percentage that one is contained in the other value

but the closeness to a accepted value is considered accuracy while percentage error is the difference between the error and the accepted value divided by the exact value and multiplied by 100. also known as RATIO

hence the word ratio as used in the question refers to percent error based on its definition as given above.
