Answer:
5.25%
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Accepted value = 238857 miles
Measured value = 226316 miles
Percentage error =.?
Next, we shall determine the absolute error. This can be obtained as follow:
Accepted value = 238857 miles
Measured value = 226316 miles
Absolute Error =?
Absolute Error = |Measured – Accepted|
Absolute Error = |226316 – 238857|
Absolute Error = 12541
Finally, we shall determine the percentage error. This can be obtained as follow:
Accepted value = 238857 miles
Absolute Error = 12541
Percentage error =.?
Percentage error = absolute error / accepted value × 100
Percentage error
= 12541 / 238857 × 100
= 1254100 / 238857
= 5.25%
Therefore, the percentage error is 5.25%.
