Answer:
The percentage error is 1.56 %.
Explanation:
To calculate the percentage error, we use the equation:
\(\%\text{ error}=\frac{|\text{Experimental value - Accepted value}|}{\text{Accepted value}}\times 100\)
We are given:
Experimental value of an average = 97.5
Accepted value of an average = 96
Putting values in above equation, we get:
\(\%\text{ error}=\frac{|97.5-96|}{96}\times 100\\\\\%\text{ error}=1.56\%\)
Hence, the percentage error in our calculation is 1.56 %.
