Answer:

12 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Absolute error is the difference between the measured value and the actual value.</em>

We can see on the plot that absolute error is spread between zero and 12 grams.

The largest absolute error is approximately 12 grams as per plot on the top right. It gives the bag weight of 512 grams vs advertised 500 grams.
