Error and Percentage Error

Every measurement is an approximation and has an error.

The Absolute Error is the difference between the actual value and the measurement taken.

Absolute Error = Measured Value - Actual Value

The Maximum Value for an Absolute Error is 0.5 of the smallest unit on the measuring unit

eg. Actual measurement 38mm, I read 36mm from the ruler.

Error and Percentage Error

The Relative Error indicates how good the measurement takes

is in relation to the actual size.

The Percentage Error is the relative error as a percentage

eg. Actual measurement 38mm, I read 36mm from the ruler.
