Question

SHOW YOUR WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

1.375%

Explanation:

Percent Error = measured value - accepted value/ accepted value x 100

Measured Value: 15.78

Accepted Value: 16.00

Work:

$\frac{15.78-16.00}{16.00}$ * 100

$\frac{-.22}{16}$ * 100 = -1.375

You cannot have a negative percentage. Therefore the answer is 1.375%
