Question

Find the percent error in this situation:

Estimated value: 56
Actual value: 43
23.2%
0.302%
30.2%
0.232%

Answer 1

30.2%

Explanation:

Use the percent error formula:

| (experimental - actual) / actual | x 100

Plug in the experimental and actual values:

| (experimental - actual) / actual | x 100

| (56 - 43 ) / 43 | x 100

(13 / 43) x 100

= 30.2

So, the percent error is 30.2%
