The accepted measurement of the volume of a liquid
sample is 15.20 mL. If the student's measurement is
14.80 mL. What is the percentage of error?
A-(4.25%
B-(1.75%)
C-(3.50%)
D-(2.63 %)

Respuesta :

Answer:

D-(2.63 %)

Explanation:

Percentage Error

Is the difference between the approximate and the exact or accepted value of a measurement, as a percentage of the exact or accepted value.

The formula is:

[tex]\displaystyle \delta=\left |\frac{va-ve}{ve} \right |\cdot 100\%[/tex]

The accepted value of the volume of a liquid sample is va=15.20 ml and the student's measurement is ve=14.80 ml. The percentage of error is:

[tex]\displaystyle \delta=\left |\frac{15.20-14.80}{15.20}\right |\cdot 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \delta=\left |\frac{0.4}{15.20}\right |\cdot 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\delta=2.63\%[/tex]

Correct choice: D-(2.63 %)
