Calculating Percent Error

Sometimes we take measurements, and sometimes we're off by a little bit. How far off? Does it make sense to just use a number? Shouldn't we use something that tells us how far off we are relative to the true value? Yes we should, hence, percent error. Take a look and I'll show you what I mean.Watch the whole General Chemistry playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveGenChemStudy for the AP Chemistry exam with me: https://bit.ly/ProfDaveAPChemOrganic Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveOrgChemBiochemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBiochemBiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBioClassical Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics1Modern Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics2Mathematics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMathsEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn Book Depository: http://bit.ly/3aOVDlT Learn more about your ad choices.
