Question

The amount of a chemical solution is measured to be 4 liters. What is the percent error of the measurement?

A. 2.5%
B. 5%
C. 25%
D. 50%

Answer 1

To calculate the percent error, you need an observed value and an expected value. Without the expected value, it is not possible to calculate the percent error.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent error is the difference between an observed and expected value, expressed as a percentage of the expected value. To calculate the percent error, you need to know the observed value and the expected value. In this case, the observed value is 4 liters, but the expected value is not provided. Without the expected value, it is not possible to calculate the percent error. Therefore, we cannot determine the correct answer choice.
