Question

The table shows data from an experiment with two trails. Calculate the percent errors. Which trail had the greater percent error?

Answer 1

The percent error is given by:

`E=(|measured-real|)/(real)*100`

For trial A the percent of error is:

`E=(|240-200|)/(200)*100=20`

20%

For trial B, the percent of error is:

`E=(|195-240|)/(240)*100=18.75`

18.75%
