An object was measured by a worker as 14.6cm long, however, the manufacturer specifications list the length of the object at 14.4cm. what is the percent error in the worker's measurement?

The percent error in the worker's measurement is 1.38%

Explanation:

Actual length of the object = 14.4 cm

length measured by the worker = 14.6 cm

absolute error in measuring the object = 14.6 - 14. 4 = 0.2 cm

percentage error =

Putting in the values we get:

percentage error =

Thus the percent error in the worker's measurement is 1.38%
