\n" ); document.write( "The question is incomplete. I'll give an example of how to solve these types of problems.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's say the true volume is 7.5 liters.
\n" ); document.write( "Furthermore, let's say you erroneously measured it to be 8 liters.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The difference is 8 - 7.5 = 0.5 liters
\n" ); document.write( "Divide this difference over the true value
\n" ); document.write( "0.5/7.5 = 0.0667 approximately
\n" ); document.write( "There's about a 6.67% error \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Another example:
\n" ); document.write( "True value = 7.5 liters
\n" ); document.write( "measured value = 5 liters
\n" ); document.write( "difference = 7.5 - 5 = 2.5 liters
\n" ); document.write( "difference/trueValue = 2.5/7.5 = 0.3333 = 33.33% error approximately\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note: When computing the difference, use the positive version. Use absolute value if needed.
