The error in the measurement is of 4.89%
Let's find the error:
To get this we can use the formula:
P = 100%*(measurement - real value)/real value
Where:
measurement = 32.6
Real value = 31.08
Then the error as a percentage of the real value is:
P = 100%*(32.6 - 31.08)/31.08 = 4.89%
Complete question:
"A digital thermometer reports the temperature of 32.6 Fahrenheit as being 31.08 Fahrenheit
What is the percentual error in the measurement?"
