كيفية الاستخدام
  1. Enter your Observed Value (the result of your measurement or experiment).
  2. Enter the Expected Value (the true, theoretical, or accepted value).
  3. The calculator determines how far off your measurement is as a percentage.

الصيغة

Absolute Error: |Observed − Expected|

Percent Error: (|Observed − Expected| / |Expected|) × 100%

Percent Error is a mathematical concept used heavily in chemistry and physics to report the difference between a measured (experimental) value and a true (theoretical) value. A percent error close to zero indicates highly accurate measurements.
