Standard Error Calculation
useful tool for determining the precision of your calculations. The formula is given by: The experimental value is your calculated value, and the theoretical value is your known value. A percentage very close to zero means you are very close to your targeted value, which is good. It is always necessary to understand the cause of the error, such as whether it is due to the imprecision of your equipment, your own estimations, or a mistake in your experiment.Example: The 17th century Danish astronomer, Ole Rűmer, observed that the periods of the satellites of Jupiter would appear to fluctuate depending on the distance of Jupiter from Earth. The further away Jupiter was, the longer the satellites would take to appear from behind the planet. In 1676, he determined that this phenomenon was due to the fact that the speed of light was finite, and subsequently estimated its velocity to be approximately 220,000 km/s. The current accepted value of the speed of light is almost 299,800 km/s. What was the percent error of R
Example: I estimated 260 people, but 325 came. 260 − 325 = −65, ignore the "−" sign, so my error is 65 "Percentage Error": show the error as a percent of the exact value ... so divide by the exact value relative error calculation and make it a percentage: 65/325 = 0.2 = 20% Percentage Error is all about systematic error calculation comparing a guess or estimate to an exact value. See percentage change, difference and error for other options. How to Calculate Here is the way
Error Calculation Chemistry
to calculate a percentage error: Step 1: Calculate the error (subtract one value form the other) ignore any minus sign. Step 2: Divide the error by the exact value (we get a decimal number) Step 3: Convert that http://astro.physics.uiowa.edu/ITU/glossary/percent-error-formula/ to a percentage (by multiplying by 100 and adding a "%" sign) As A Formula This is the formula for "Percentage Error": |Approximate Value − Exact Value| × 100% |Exact Value| (The "|" symbols mean absolute value, so negatives become positive) Example: I thought 70 people would turn up to the concert, but in fact 80 did! |70 − 80| |80| × 100% = 10 80 × 100% = 12.5% I was in error https://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/percentage-error.html by 12.5% Example: The report said the carpark held 240 cars, but we counted only 200 parking spaces. |240 − 200| |200| × 100% = 40 200 × 100% = 20% The report had a 20% error. We can also use a theoretical value (when it is well known) instead of an exact value. Example: Sam does an experiment to find how long it takes an apple to drop 2 meters. The theoreticalvalue (using physics formulas)is 0.64 seconds. But Sam measures 0.62 seconds, which is an approximate value. |0.62 − 0.64| |0.64| × 100% = 0.02 0.64 × 100% = 3% (to nearest 1%) So Sam was only 3% off. Without "Absolute Value" We can also use the formula without "Absolute Value". This can give a positive or negative result, which may be useful to know. Approximate Value − Exact Value × 100% Exact Value Example: They forecast 20 mm of rain, but we really got 25 mm. 20 − 25 25 × 100% = −5 25 × 100% = −20% They were in error by −20% (their estimate was too low) InMeasurementMeasuring instruments are not exact! And we can use Percentage Error to estimate the possible error when measuring. Example: You measure the plant to be 80 cm high (to the nearest cm) This means you could be up to 0.5 cm
