Question

To be labeled as a jumbo egg, the egg is supposed to weigh 2.5 oz. Priya buys a carton of jumbo eggs and measures one of the eggs as 2.4 oz. What is the percent error?

Answer 1

Percent Error is 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual weight of egg(exact) = 2.5 oz

Estimated weight of egg(approx) = 2.4 oz

The formula used to find percent error is:

$Percent\,\,Error=\frac{|approx-exact|}{exact}\times 100$

Putting values and finding percent error:

$Percent\,\,Error=\frac{|approx-exact|}{exact}\times 100\\Percent\,\,Error=\frac{|2.4-2.5|}{2.5}\times 100\\Percent\,\,Error=\frac{|-0.1|}{2.5}\times 100\\|-0.1|=0.1\\Percent\,\,Error=\frac{0.1}{2.5}\times 100\\Percent\,\,Error=4%$

So, Percent Error is 4%.
