    That was extremely helpful, my Chem teacher asked us to get the % error on a density lab we will be doing, but I had never heard the term before. You saved a life.

    @TiteNYC if u dont have the accepted value, then find the precision of your measurement.
    % uncertainty of measurement = (uncertainty of reading/reading recorded) x 100%
    uncertainty of reading depends on the precision of your instrument used

    • @basedcob9637
      @basedcob9637 7 років тому

    • @dominoscustomersupport4373
      @dominoscustomersupport4373 5 років тому

      Yes, the formula for percent error is: (measured-accepted)/accepted value •100. This results in the number sometimes being positive and negative. Since we are considering the size of the error, you have ignore the + or - signs

  • @namjoonswifey12418

  • @nuhaanwar8358
    @nuhaanwar8358 9 років тому +1

    You can also calculate percent error by taking the absolute value of the estimated value and true value , dividing true value, multiplying 100.

  • @bhyaveshsurbhajathanam873

    A way to calculate another estimate for the percent of error is by subtracting the total by the new amount given and completing the percent equation.

  • @samirgunic
    @samirgunic 8 років тому +8

    Good presentation! But! The use of percent sign is a bit ambiguous. You multiply the error by 100 to get the percent error, not by 100 %. Because 100 % would be just 1. So 3.5/500.0 would be 0.007 and you multiply that by 100/100, which is 1, and you still get only 0.007. That's 7/1000. To write it in terms of 100 (per cent) you have to divide numerator and denominator by 10, and you get 0.7/100. It's only when you write out the percent sign that you get 0.7 %. You have to write out the % sign to keep the same value.
    By dimensional analysis, the feet units cancel out, and percent remains. So technically, it is correct. But to make it less ambiguous I would probably put it in parentheses and let % sign sit outside of the right parenthesis, and I would not read it out as "times 100 percent", I would rather say "times 100". Either way works, but I find it less confusing or less ambiguous this way. People are hardly taught to view % as a unit of measurement, so they may not understand what's going on.

    • @BradWojcikPharmD
      @BradWojcikPharmD 8 років тому +8

      +Samir Gunic It is correct to multiply by 100%, not 100. I believe it is important to teach that the % is just another unit of measurement and that 100% is just another conversion factor like 1000 mg/1 g, which equals 1. Why teach something that is wrong because they didn't learn it correctly the first time? The only comment I would make is that I would like to see a leading zero in 0.7%, not .7%
