QuestionA scientist measures $744 \mathrm{m}$; true value is $500 \mathrm{m}$. Find absolute and relative error.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the relative error in percentage.
$$Relative\, error =.488 \\times100\% =48.8\%$$The absolute error of the scientist's measurement is $244 m$ and the relative error is $48.8\%$.
