Share Mar 25, 2016 Answer: The acceptability of a percent error depends on the application. Explanation: In some cases, the measurement may be so difficult that a 10 % error or even higher may be acceptable. In other cases, a 1 % error may be too high. Most high school and introductory university instructors will accept a 5 % error. But this is only a guideline. At higher levels of study, the instructors usually demand higher accuracy.

For example, a https://socratic.org/questions/what-percent-error-is-too-high 5-10% error range on political polling is commonly accepted as reasonable. A similar rate for surgical error would be appaling and targets tend to be in the 0.1-1% range. In general, an error range of 5%-35% is acceptable, with 0-5% being exceptionally good, and over 35% meaning the data is unreliable or chaotic. An acceptable error range depends on the application.

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 considered good percentage 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 Rømer, 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 Rømer's estimate?Solution:experimental value = 220,000 km/s = 2.2 x 108 m/stheoretical value = 299,800 km/s 2.998 x 108 m/s So Rømer was quite a bit off by our standards today, but considering he came up with this estimate at a time when a majority of respected astronomers, like Cassini, still believed that the speed of light was infinite, his conclusion was an outstanding contribution to the field of astronomy. © 2016 University of Iowa [Back To Top
