Question

You are curious to see how good your friends are at taking measurements, so you decide to see how “wrong” they are using equations for determining the fractional error and percent error you learned in your physics class.

Substitute the experimental value of π you obtained above and the accepted value of π (3.1416) and calculate the “fractional error” and “percent error” using the equations below:

Fractional error =| (Experimental – Accepted)|/ Accepted

experimental value is=3.0988507

A. What is the fractional error___

Percent error = [|Experimental – Accepted|]/ Accepted] x 100%

B. What is the percent error___

Percent error

____
