Q
Q: If the true value of a measurement is 50.0 cm and the measured value is 49.5 cm, what is the absolute error?
Solution:
Absolute error = |True value - Measured value| = |50.0 - 49.5| = 0.5 cm.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the true value of the measurement, which is 50.0 cm.
Step 2: Identify the measured value, which is 49.5 cm.
Step 3: Subtract the measured value from the true value: 50.0 cm - 49.5 cm.
Step 4: Calculate the absolute value of the result from Step 3: |50.0 - 49.5|.
Step 5: The result is 0.5 cm, which is the absolute error.
