Question

A company claims that one of their antacid

tablets contains 0.400g of calcium. A student did
an experiment to measure the amount of calcium
in a single tablet, which came out to be 0.365g.
What is the percent error in the student's
measurement?
A 8.8%
B 9.6%

Answer 1

8.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Error percentage = [(Original no. - Wrong answer)/Original answer]•100 = (0.4-0.365)/0.4 x 100 =

3.5/0.4= 35/4= 8.75 which is approximately equal to 8.8%
