This percent error reference table shows the percent error for a range of measured / experimental value values, assuming a true / theoretical value of 100. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Percent Error Calculator, so the numbers are exact.
| Measured / experimental value | Percent error | Absolute error |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | 75.000% | 75.0000 |
| 49 | 51.000% | 51.0000 |
| 74 | 26.000% | 26.0000 |
| 98 | 2.000% | 2.0000 |
| 150 | 50.000% | 50.0000 |
| 200 | 100.000% | 100.0000 |
| 290 | 190.000% | 190.0000 |
| 490 | 390.000% | 390.0000 |
| 690 | 590.000% | 590.0000 |
| 980 | 880.000% | 880.0000 |
How to use this table
Find the row closest to your measured / experimental value and read across to the percent error. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Percent Error Calculator for a precise answer.
Need a value that is not in the table? — the Percent Error Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
