It is given that Boaz weight is 36 pounds on a defective scale and exact weight is 34 pounds.
To determine the percent of error in measurement of the defective scale
[tex]PE=\frac{approxvalue-exactvalue}{\text{exactvalue}}\times100[/tex][tex]PE=\frac{36-34}{34}\times100=\frac{2}{34}\times100=5.882[/tex]Hence the percent error in measurement of the defective scale is 6.
