This absolute error reference table shows the absolute error for a range of measured value values, assuming a true value of 10. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Absolute Error Calculator, so the numbers are exact.

|---|---|---|
| 2.5 | 7.5000 | 75.0000% |
| 4.9 | 5.1000 | 51.0000% |
| 7.4 | 2.6000 | 26.0000% |
| 9.8 | 0.2000 | 2.0000% |
| 15 | 5.0000 | 50.0000% |
| 20 | 10.0000 | 100.0000% |
| 29 | 19.0000 | 190.0000% |

| 98 | 88.0000 | 880.0000% |
How to use this table
Find the row closest to your measured value and read across to the absolute error. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Absolute Error Calculator for a precise answer.
Need a value that is not in the table? — the Absolute Error Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
