An experiment is performed to obtain the value of a physical property. If the true (i.e., correct) value of the property is 50 and the measured (i.e., experimental) value is 32 , the percent error of the experimental result is:

Respuesta :

Answer:

36 %

Explanation:

Measured value = 32

Actual value = 50

Error can be caused due to multiple reasons operator error, equipment error and other environmental errors.

Error in the reading = |Actual value - Measured value|

= |50 - 32|

= |18| = 18

Percentage error = (Error / Actual value) × 100

= (18 / 50)×100

= 0.36×100

= 36 %

∴ The percent error of the experimental result is 36 %.
