Question

if the accepted value of pi is 3.1416, what is the percent error of the experimental value 3.15?

Answer 1

Percentage error =
|(Experimental value - Theoretical/Accepted value)| / (Theoretical/Accepted value) * 100

Answer 2

Percentage error = \(\Large \frac {|3.15 - 3.1416|}{3.1416} \times 100 = ?\)

Answer 3

So my answer would be.. 0.26738?
