Absolute error is defined as the magnitude of the difference between the exact value and the approximation.
Here both the times, the error is 15.
40-25=15 and 75-60=15
No, the percent error is not same because the exact values are different and hence, the percent error is different.
Percent error value in 1st case is :
[tex]40-25=15[/tex]
error percent is= [tex]\frac{15}{40}\times100=37.5[/tex]%
Percent error value in 2nd case:
[tex]75-60=15[/tex]
error percent is=[tex]\frac{15}{75}\times100=20[/tex]%
Answer:
The percent error compares the absolute error
Step-by-step explanation:
