QuestionCalculate the absolute and relative error for a measurement of $11.49 \mathrm{~kg}$ when the true value is $8.00 \mathrm{~kg}$.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the relative error as a percentage.
$$Relative\, Error =.43625 \times100\% =43.625\%$$The absolute error of the scientist's measurement is $3.49 \mathrm{~kg}$ and the relative error is $43.625\%$.
