Question

i) If measured value is 23.9 ml and true value is 24.0 ml, then the absolute error is

​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1

Explanation:

Absolute error= Actual value- measured value

Actual value= 24.0

Measured value= 23.9

Absolute error= 24.0-23.9= 0.1

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of the absolute error measured is $0.1ml$.

Explanation:

Given,

The measured value = $23.9ml$

The true value = $24.0ml$

The absolute error =?

Now,

• The absolute error is defined as the estimated difference between the observed/measured value and its true value.

Thus,

• Absolute error = measured value - true value

Sometimes the value comes out to be negative; therefore the modulus sign is used.

• Absolute error = | measured value - true value |

After putting the given values in the equation, we get:

• Absolute error = $|23.9 - 24.0|$
• Absolute error = $|-0.1|$
• Absolute error = $0.1$ml.
