    Percent Error Calculator

    Calculate percent error, absolute error, and relative error between experimental and accepted values.

    Percent Error
    3.0612%
    Absolute Error
    0.3000
    Relative Error
    0.030612
    Formula & Step Breakdown
    Percent Error = (|Experimental - Accepted| / |Accepted|) × 100%
    Step 1: |9.5 - 9.8| = 0.3000
    Step 2: 0.3000 / |9.8| = 0.030612
    Step 3: 0.030612 × 100 = 3.0612%
