Respuesta :

The absolute error and percent error are 0. 9m and 6. 9 respectively.

What is absolute error?

Absolute error can be defined as the difference between the inferred or measured value and the actual value of a given quantity.

The formula for absolute error is give as:

Δx = x0-x

Where:

  • Δx is the absolute error
  • x0 is the measured value = 13m
  • x is the actual value = 12. 1m

Substitute the values

Δx = 13 - 12.1

Δx = 0. 9m

The percent error is calculated using:

Percent error = actual value - measured value/ measured value  × 100

Percent error = 12 . 1 - 13/ 13 × 100

Percent error = |0. 9/ 13| × 100

Percent error  = |0. 069| × 100

Percent error = 6. 9

Thus, the absolute error and percent error are 0. 9m and 6. 9 respectively.
