The weight of a child is recorded as 25 kg when his actual weight is 25.005
What is the percentage error on the actual weight?

Sagot :

Answer:

0.02%

Explanation:

The percent error equation is as follows:

[tex]\frac{measured-actual}{actual}*100[/tex]

To solve the question, we simply plug into this equation:
[tex]\frac{25-25.005}{25.005} *100 = 0.02%[/tex]%

(Note that the percent error WOULD be negative, but the absolute value of the equation must be taken for the percent error equation so that we do not get a negative error percent)
