an error is the difference between a predicted value and the actual value. % errors tell you how close or how far you came to the actual answer is the form of a percentage. Mathematically:
[(accepted value-measured value) / accepted lValue] * 100%
note: if your answer is negative it means you were, for example, 15% short of the actual answer

Define equipment error and explain how to reduce it?
the equipment error is the percentage of uncertainty on the equipment, so for example, a measuring cylinder has the percentage error of around 0.5cm3. The only way I know off to reduce error percentage is to well increase sample size/ volume A etc. as the calculation is something like (equipment error / quantity measured x 100) this would mean that having a higher quantity to measure will therefore decrease percentage error. hope it helps.

Define error relative error and absolute error give examples of each?
Error is the term for the amount of difference between a value and it's approximation, and is represented by either an upper or lower case epsilon (E or ε)Eabs, absolute error, is |x-x*| where x* is the approximate of x, and gives a value that shows how far away the approximate is as a numerical valueErel, relative error, is |x-x*| / |x| and gives a value that shows how far away the approximate is as a decimal percentage i.e. if you times the relative error by 100 you get the percentage error of the approximation.
How do you calculate percentage error for equipment?
Look on the equipment for where it says the plus or minus figure for accuracy (for a burette it is usually + and _ 0.1cm3) divide this by the amount you measured , times 100 to make it a percentage. ---- ---- Percentage Error = Maximum Error / Measured Value X 100 For example.Maximum Error for the following apparatus are:Balance = +/- 0.01Pippette = +/- 0.1 And the Measured value for each are:Balance = 0.15Pippette = 25 Then...the percentage error is:Balance percentage error = 0.01 / 0.15 X 100 = 66.66%Pippette percentage error = 0.1 / 25 X 100 = 0.3% You can now also work out your maximum total error.Maximum total Percentage error = Balance Percentage error + Pippette Percentage errorMaximum total percentage error = 66.66 + 0.4 = 67.06%
What is error and percentage error?
Percentage error measures the error in relation to the quantity measured. For example if something weighs 100 grams with a possible error of plus or minus 5 grams, this is an error of 5%

When an error of 1 percent is made in the length of a square the percentage error in the area of square will be?
The percentage error in the area of the square will be twice the percentage error in the length of the square. This is because the error in the length affects both the length and width of the square, resulting in a compounded effect on the area. Therefore, if there is a 1 percent error in the length, the percentage error in the area would be 2 percent.
What does a negative percentage error means?
A percentage error is 100*(measurement - true value)/true valueThe percentage error is negative if the measured (or calculated) value is smaller that the true value.
What is percentage error?
Given a true value and the measured value,the error is measured value - true value;the relative error is (measured value - true value)/true value, andthe percentage error is 100*relative error.
How do you calculate error in span percentage?
The span error is calculated by taking the span error and dividing it by the original measurement then multiplying by 100. The value gives us the span error as a percentage.
Mass of a sample measured 9.67gwhat is the percent error if the correct mass is 9.82g?
percentage error= experimental value-accepted value/ accepted value x 100 (percentage error is negative only if the accepted value is larger than the experimental value) percentage error= 9.67-9.82/9.82 x 100 percentage error= -1.6
