Answer:

  • absolute error: 0.4 kg
  • relative error: 6.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute error is the difference between the estimate and the actual weight:

  7.0 kg -6.6 kg = 0.4 kg . . . . absolute error

__

The relative error is the ratio of the absolute error to the actual weight:

  (0.4 kg)/(6.6 kg) × 100% = 6.060606...% ≈ 6.1% . . . . relative error
