Question

accuracy of measurement is determined by

A. Absolute Error
B. Percentage Error
C. Human Error
D. Personal Error

Answer 1

The correct answer is (B) Percentage Error.

• In the case of absolute error, the measured value has changed about the real value.
• However, in the case of percentage error, it tells us how the measured value changes about the real value.
• Because measurement accuracy is defined as how close the measured value is to the real value, percentage error is used to estimate measurement accuracy.

Answer 2

Accuracy of measure is determined by (B) percentage error.

Definition of percentage error;

Percentage error- is the measurement between the true value and the observed value.

Uses of percentage error;

• Percentage error helps in finding the errors in the margins. Easy to understand and a more reliable method.
• The percentage error identifies the measuring instrument that helps the engineers.
• On the finance sector it allows to find the statistics and data analyst.
• It allows to find the errors for everyday tasks. The percentage errors progress the data and sets the data in the right direction.

Hence, Percentage error is determined by the accuracy of measurement. It allows to find the statistical data in a right direction.
