Answer 2

what is percentage error?

• The purpose of a percent error calculation is to gauge how close a measured value is to a true value.
• Percent error (percentage error) is the difference between an experimental and theoretical value, divided by the theoretical value, multiplied by 100 to give a percent.
• In some fields, percent error is always expressed as a positive number.
• Percent error is one type of error calculation. Absolute and relative error are two other common calculations. Percent error is part of comprehensive error analysis.
• The keys to reporting percent error correctly are to know whether or not to drop the sign (positive or negative) on the calculation and to report the value using the correct number of significant figures.

what is a significant error?

• Significance may be subjective or relative depending on the individual situation and duration.
• “Significant medication error” means one which causes the resident discomfort or jeopardizes his or her health and safety. Significance may be subjective or relative depending on the individual situation and duration.
