Question

Anna measures the height of a plant as 23 cm but its actual height is 30 cm what I the percent error

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the percent error in Anna's measurement, you can follow these steps:

Calculate the absolute error:

Absolute error = Actual value - Measured value
Absolute error = 30 cm - 23 cm
Absolute error = 7 cm
Divide the absolute error by the actual value and multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage:

Percent error = (Absolute error / Actual value) * 100%
Percent error = (7 cm / 30 cm) * 100%
Percent error ≈ 23.33%
