Given that,
Actual volume of his bathtub is 37 gal
Estimate is 31 gal
<em><u>Find the absolute error</u></em>
Absolute Error = | Measured Value - Actual Value |
Absolute Error = | 31 - 37 |
Absolute Error = 6
<em><u>Find the percent error</u></em>
Substituting we get,
Negative sign means percent decrease
Thus percent error is 16.22 %
