WHAT IS the percent error between polar circumference of the earth and real circumference?

There is no error. The Earth is NOT a sphere, it is an oblate spheroid. This is caused by the fact that it is spinning. The spin makes the middle (the equator) bulge out. Thus if you measure the radius to the equator it is 6,378.1 km, while if you measure the radius to a pole it is 6,356.8 km.

The ratio of an error to an accepted value is called what?
its a percent error * * * * * No, it is the relative error. When that is multiplied by 100 it becomes a percentage error.
What is accepted density?
accepted density is a part of the equation of the percent error... i.e. :experimental value- accepted value/ accepted value x100% = percent error
What is the percent error formula?
Percent Error is the difference between the true value and the estimate divided by the true value and the result is multiplied by 100 to make it a percentage. The percent error obviously can be positive or negative; however, some prefer taking the absolute value of the difference. The formula is the absolute value of the experimental value (minus) the theoretical value divided by theoretical value times 100. % error = (|Your Result - Accepted Value| / Accepted Value) x 100
What does it mean if the percent yield is over 100?
It is an error (in science).
What is the percent of error in evaluating the molecular mass of a compound if the experimental value was 105.2 amu and the known value was 107.5 amu?
The formula for percent error is |experimental value-accepted value|/accepted value. The lines stand for absolute value. They are there to prevent a negative percent error, seeing as that is not possible, and they have the same effect on the order of operations as a pair of parenthesis. ITS 2.1%
What is the difference between low percent error and high percent error?
The difference between low percent error and high percent error is one is low and the other is high
What is the earth's polar circumference?
The metre was originally defined as one ten-thousandth of one fourth of the Earth's Polar circumference. i.e. 10 000 m from equator to pole. Giving a total polar circumference of 40 000 km. If fact the measurement was slightly in error, but the magnitude of that error is known.
How should a 46 percent rating be interpreted if margin error is 5 percent?
between 41 and 51 percent
What is the difference between the low percent error and the high percent error?
If it's high that means it's very off and away from the actual value. If you find a low percent error it is very close or close to the true value.
What is relative errors?
Percent error.
What does the term percent error refer to?
An error is the difference between a predicted value and the actual, observed, value. The percent error tells the user how close or how far off one was from the actual value in the form of a percentage.
What is The percent difference between an observed value and its actual value?
It is the observed error.
What is the percent error between 14 and 16?
If the accepted true value is 14 and the measured value is 16 the error is 14,3 %.
When an error of 1 percent is made in the length of a square error is?
The error in its area is then 2 percent....
What is the formula for percent error?
The formula of percent error ispercent error= Your value/accepted value x 100------------The definition of error is: difference between the accepted true value and the measured value of a quantity or parameter. But this is the absolute error.The relative (percent error) is:(measured value - accepted true value) . 100/accepted true valueThis value is exprssed as a percentage - %.
What is 2 percent error OF 5 percent error?
1/100
What relative error?
percent error
