A product tester measures four different sizes of bottled water to see if they are filled accurately. The table shows the results. Which sample had the least percent error?.

The amount of mistakes is expressed as if it is a part of the total which is a hundred. The ratio can be expressed as a fraction of 100. The word percent means per 100. It is represented by the symbol ‘%’.

Given

Sample Meqasured amount Actual amount

1 14 13.7

2 24 24.4

3 25 25.8

4 39 40.2

To find

The error percentage.

How to find the error percentage?

We know the formula for the error percentage.

[tex]\rm \% Error = \dfrac{Measured \ value- Actual\ value}{Actual\ value} * 100[/tex]

For the first sample

[tex]\rm \% Error = \dfrac{Measured \ value- Actual\ value}{Actual\ value} * 100\\\\ \% Error = \dfrac{14 - 13.7}{13.7}*100\\\\ \% Error = 2.19 \%[/tex]

For the second sample

[tex]\rm \% Error = \dfrac{Measured \ value- Actual\ value}{Actual\ value} * 100\\\\ \% Error = \dfrac{24.4 - 24}{24.4}*100\\\\ \% Error = 1.64 \%[/tex]

For the third sample

[tex]\rm \% Error = \dfrac{Measured \ value- Actual\ value}{Actual\ value} * 100\\\\ \% Error = \dfrac{25.8 - 25}{25.8}*100\\\\ \% Error = 3.1 \%[/tex]

For the fourth sample

[tex]\rm \% Error = \dfrac{Measured \ value- Actual\ value}{Actual\ value} * 100\\\\ \% Error = \dfrac{40.2-39}{40.2}*100\\\\ \% Error = 2.99 \%[/tex]

The second sample has the least error percentage.
