The relative error measurements indicates the quality of a measurement relative to the quantity of the object being measured. To derive the relative error, divide the absolute error by the value of the object being measured.

What does relative error percentage mean?

Relative error percentage is a decimal percentage between 1 and 0 such that if you multiply the actual answer by (1-errorrel) you get your approximate value. In other words relative error is an indicator of how far away your apporximation is from the real value in terms of percent of the real value.


What is the value of relative error if the absolute error is 10?

The relative error depends on the true value of the measurement. That information has not been provided.


If the absolute error is 50 and the mean value of measured quantity is 5 what is the relative error?

= absolute error/ mean value of measured quantity times 100 50/5 times 100= 1000%


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.


What is the absolute error for 56 - 0.70?

55.3


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 the formula for relative error?

The formula for relative error is:Erel= |x-x*| / |x|, where x is the proper value, and x* an approximate value.


What is the percent error for 56-56.6?

If 56.0 is the true accepted value and 56.6 is the measured value the relative error 1,07 %.


What is the value of relative error if the absolute error is -10?

You need to know the measure in order to answer the question.


Why relative error is better then absoulte error in math?

The relative error puts the size of the error into context. An absolute error of 10, in a number whose value is 1 indicates a range of -9 to 11 for the true value. This means that telling you that the value is 1 is near enough pointless. On the other hand, an absolute error of 10 in a number whose value is 1 billion means that the true value is somewhere in the range 999,999,990 and 1,000,000,010. I suggest that the discrepancy is not significant. The relative error in the first case is 1000% and in the second, it is 1 millionth of 1%.


What is the percent error for 59.3 and 60.1?

If 59,3 is considered the accepted true value the relative error is 1,35 %.


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.
