Question

Jesse measured his height to be 67 inches. His actual height is 68.5 inches. What is the percent error for Jesse's measurem

Answer 1

2.24%

Explanation:

Given that :

Actual height = 68.5

Measured height = 67

Percentage error :

(Error value / True value) * 100%

Error = Actual - observed = (68.5 - 67) = 1.5

Percentage error :

(1.5 / 67) * 100%

0.0223880 * 100%

= 2.2388%

= 2.24%
