To be labeled as a jumbo egg, the egg is supposed to weigh 2.5 oz. Priya buys a carton of jumbo eggs and measures one of the eggs as 2.4 oz. What is the percent error?

The percent error is 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value of egg = 2.5 oz

Observed value of egg = 2.4 oz

We need to find the percent error.

The formula used to calculate percent error is:

We use || (absolute) sign because if the answer is negative, we considered it as positive i,e |-a| = a

Putting values in formula and finding percent error

So, the percent error is 4%

step-by-step explanation:

use pothagarean therom

a^2+b^2=c^2 so first ac

acm is a right triangle because c= 90°

and am (the hypotenuse or c) =16+9 =25

but there is not enough info we need another angle or side length
