Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Accepted value is true value.

Measured values is calculated value.

In the question given Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm

Given Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm , 63.0 cm , 63.7 cm

1) Percent error (%) for first measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.1 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{0.1}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = 0.00158\times 100

Percent error = 0.158 %

2) Percent error (%) for second measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.0 cm

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.0 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{0.2}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = 0.00316\times 100

Percent error = 0.316 %

3) Percent error (%) for third measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.7 cm

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.7 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | -0.5 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{(0.5)}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = 0.00791\times 100

Percent error = 0.791 %

Percent error for each measurement is :

63.1 cm = 0.158%

63.0 cm = 0.316%

63.7 cm = 0.791%

What is the economic importance of phosphorus in Canada or elsewhere in the world?
vladimir1956 [14]

white phosphorus is used in flares and explosives, so may be important in warfare, etc. Red phosphorus is used in matches (side of matches) and in fertilizers which are essential to growing plants. I don't know if that is economically important, but there are many ways that phosphorus benifit the economy. One downside on the economy is that phosphorus is one of the main ingredients in meth, which of course causes trouble for the economy ( law enforcement, medical, etc. )
