Question
Chapter U4.8, Problem 11E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The percent error of a measurement needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:The percent error of a measurement is defined as
Where |..| denotes the absolute or the positive value of the difference.
The percent error is expressed as a percentage (%).
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 11E
The correct answer is the second option, option (B).
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer: The percent error of the measurement is given as
Conclusion
Reason for incorrect options: The first option, option (A) is incorrect. The percent error of this measurement is calculated as
The above percent error is obviously more than option (B) and hence, isn’t the smallest.
Option (C) is incorrect because, options (A) and (B) give different percent errors.
Option (D) is incorrect because the percent errors in options (A) and (B) can be easily calculated from the given information.
