उत्तर
Given: a1 = 6.12 Ω, a2 = 6.09 Ω, a3 = 6.22 Ω, a4 = 6.15 Ω
To find:
i. Absolute error `(Δ"a"_"mean")`
ii. Relative error
iii. Percentage error
Formulae:
1. `"a"_"mean" = ("a"_1 + "a"_2 + "a"_3 + "a"_4)/4`
2. `Delta"a"_"n" = |"a"_"mean" - Delta"a"|`
3. `Delta"a"_"mean" = (Delta"a"_1 + Delta"a"_2 + Delta"a"_3 + Delta"a"_4)/4`
4. Relative error = `(Delta"a"_"mean")/"a"_"mean"`
5. Percentage error = `(Delta"a"_"mean")/"a"_"mean" xx 100%`
Calculation: From formula (i),
`"a"_"mean" = (6.12 + 6.09 + 6.22 + 6.15)/4`
`= 24.58/4 = 6.145` Ω
From formula (ii),
`Delta"a"_1 = |6.145 - 6.12| = 0.025`
`Delta"a"_2 = |6.145 - 6.09| = 0.055`
`Delta"a"_3 = |6.145 - 6.22| = 0.075`
`Delta"a"_4 = |6.145 - 6.15| = 0.005`
From formula (iii),
`Delta"a"_"mean" = (0.025 + 0.055 + 0.075 + 0.005)/4`
`= 0.160/4`
= 0.04 Ω
From formula (iv),
Relative error =`0.04/6.145 = 0.0065` Ω
From formula (v),
Percentage error = 0.0065 × 100 = 0.65%
- The mean absolute error is 0.04 Ω.
- The relative error is 0.0065 Ω.
- The percentage error is 0.65%.
