Given parameters:
True value of measurement = 13.6in
Absolute error = 0.05in
Unknown:
Percent of error = ?
Solution:
Error is an inconsistency introduced into a particular data set or reading.
% error = [tex]\frac{absolute error}{true value}[/tex] x 100
% error = [tex]\frac{0.05}{13.6}[/tex] x 100 = 0.368%
Percent error is 0.368%
