Answer:
Explanation:
I gave this formula as
What you should get - what you got
--------------------------------------------------- * 100
What you should get
Suppose you are talking about the specific heat of copper and you did a lab and did it fairly well and the specific heat came out to be 0.33
That's what you got, 0.33
What you should get is 0.35 according to the table you've given us.
% error = 0.35 - 0.33
-------------- * 100
0.35
% error = 0.02 * 100/ 0.35
% error = 2/0.35
% error = 5.71
Now here is the really hard part. You have to decide what a positive error is and what a negative error.
A positive error using this formula means you are too low.
A Negative error means that you are too high, just the opposite of what you might think.
