Bot Monique and Joshua measured the volume of an object 6 times and got the following results: 29.3 mL, 34.7 mL, 27.9 mL, 30 mL, 32.6 mL, and 31.5 mL. The actual volume is 34.1 mL. Find the percentage error. Round the answer to the nearest whole number. percent error = %

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate the average of the measurements:

Average = (29.3 mL + 34.7 mL + 27.9 mL + 30 mL + 32.6 mL + 31.5 mL) / 6
Average = 185 mL / 6
Average = 30.83 mL

Now, we can calculate the percentage error:

Percentage Error = [(Actual Value - Average Value) / Actual Value] * 100
Percentage Error = [(34.1 mL - 30.83 mL) / 34.1 mL] * 100
Percentage Error = [3.27 mL / 34.1 mL] * 100
Percentage Error = 0.0959 * 100
Percentage Error ≈ 9.6

Therefore, the percentage error is approximately 9.6%.
