Q
Q: If a measurement has a relative error of 5%, what does this indicate? (2022)
Solution:
A relative error of 5% indicates that the measurement is off by 5% of the true value.
Steps: 4
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what relative error means. It is a way to express how much a measurement differs from the true value.
Step 2: Know that a relative error of 5% means the measurement is not perfect.
Step 3: Calculate what 5% of the true value is. This is the amount by which the measurement could be off.
Step 4: Conclude that if the measurement is off by 5%, it means the actual value could be higher or lower by that percentage.
