Answer:

Absolute Error is the amount of error in your measurements.

Explanation:

It is the difference between the measured value and “true” value. For example, if a scale states 90 pounds but you know your true weight is 89 pounds, then the scale has an absolute error of 90 lbs – 89 lbs = 1 lbs.

I hope this helps!
