The student 4 measurement has the largest percent error. The discrepancy between the calculated value and the correct value is referred to as an "error" in statistics.
An error is a mistaken or erroneous action. In some contexts, an error is interchangeable with a mistake.
The complete question is
'Four students measured the acceleration of gravity. The accepted value for their location is 9.78m/s2. Which student’s measurement has the largest percent error?
A. Student 4: 9.61 m/s2
B. Student 3: 9.88 m/s2
C. Student 2: 9.79 m/s2
D. Student 1: 9.78 m/s2"
The percentage error is found as;
[tex]\rm \% error = \frac{a_A-a_E}{a_E} \times 100[/tex]
The percentage error in the gIven four students is obtained by putting the values in the given problem;
Student 1 ;
[tex]\rm \% error = \frac{9.78-9.78}{9.88}\times 100 \\\\\ \% error = 0 \%[/tex]
Student 2 ;
[tex]\rm \% error = \frac{9.78-9..79}{9.79}\times 100 \\\\\ \% error = - 0.10 \%[/tex]
Student 3 ;
[tex]\rm \% error = \frac{9.78-9.88}{9.88}\times 100 \\\\\ \% error = - 1.01 \%[/tex]
Student 4 ;
[tex]\rm \% error = \frac{9.78-9.61}{9.61}\times 100 \\\\\ \% error =1.77\%[/tex]
Student 4 reports the maximum percentage error.
Hence the student 4 measurement has the largest percent error.
