Answer:
Percent error = 4.29%
Step-by-step explanation:
Percent error can be defined as a measure of the extent to which an experimental value differs from the theoretical value.
Mathematically, it is given by this expression;
[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {experimental \;value - theoretical \; value}{ theoretical \;value} *100[/tex]
Given the following data;
Experimental value = 67
Theoretical value = 70
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {67 - 70 }{ 70} *100[/tex]
[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {3}{70} *100[/tex]
[tex] Percent \; error = 0.04286 *100[/tex]
Percent error = 4.29%
