How Will This Worksheet on "Percent Error" Benefit Your Student's Learning?
- Teaching accuracy measurement.
- Encouraging critical evaluation of errors.
- Reinforcing arithmetic and percentage calculations.
- Providing insights into experimental reliability.
- Developing problem-solving skills in error analysis.
How to Find Percent Error?
- Determine the experimental value (measured value) and the true value (accepted or known value).
- Find the absolute difference between the experimental value ) and the true value ():
- Divide the absolute difference by the true value and multiply by to express it as a percentage:
- Interpret the result to determine the accuracy of the experimental value.
