Brianna has a container with a volume of 1.5 L she estimates the volume to be 2.1 m what is the percent error

Sagot :

Answer: 40%

===================================================

Work Shown:

Subtract the values to get 2.1-1.5 = 0.6

Brianna is off by 0.6 liters

Divide that error by the true value 1.5 to get 0.6/1.5 = 0.40

Then move the decimal point 2 spots to the right to arrive at 40%

Therefore, the percent error is 40%

------------------

The formula you can apply is:

[tex]P = \frac{|G-T|}{T}*100\%[/tex]

where

P = percent error

G = guess value (in this case it is 2.1)

T = true value (which is 1.5 in this case)

If we were to apply the formula, then we get:

[tex]P = \frac{|G-T|}{T}*100\%\\\\P = \frac{|2.1-1.5|}{1.5}*100\%\\\\P = \frac{|0.6|}{1.5}*100\%\\\\P = \frac{0.6}{1.5}*100\%\\\\P = 0.40*100\%\\\\P = 40\%\\\\[/tex]
