The accepted value for the density of a certain material is 3.427 g/ml. Ally 10 points
measures the mass and volume of a sample of the material. She then
calculates the density to be 3.600 g/ml. What is Ally's percentage error on
her density? *

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.04%

Explanation:

The accepted value of density = 3.427 g/ml

The calculated value of density = 3.600 g/ml

We need to find Ally's percentage error on  her density. The error in any value is given by :

[tex]\%=\dfrac{\text{calculated-accepted}}{\text{accepted}}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{3.427 -3.600 }{3.427 }\times 100\\\\=5.04\%[/tex]

So, the required error is 5.04%.
