Jinsi ya kukokotoa Percent Error Calculator
Percent Error Calculator ni nini?
Percent error measures the accuracy of an experimental or measured value compared to an accepted or theoretical value. It expresses the discrepancy as a percentage, making it easy to compare errors across different scales and units.
Mwongozo wa Hatua kwa Hatua
- 1Percent error = |Experimental − Theoretical| / |Theoretical| × 100%
- 2The absolute value removes the sign — percent error is always positive
- 3Signed percent error indicates direction: positive = measured too high, negative = too low
- 4Used in chemistry, physics, engineering, and manufacturing quality control
Mifano Iliyotatuliwa
Ingizo
Measured density: 9.7 g/cm³, True density: 10.0 g/cm³
Matokeo
3.0% error
|9.7−10| / 10 × 100 = 3%
Ingizo
Predicted 50, actual 47
Matokeo
6.0% error
|50−47| / 47 × 100 = 6.38%
