Question Answer
How do you calculate percentage uncertainty? (absolute uncertainty/average measurement) x 100
What is absolute uncertainty? The smallest interval that the measuring equipment you're using can measure (eg. a ruler can measure to the nearest mm, so the absolute uncertainty is 0.001)
How do you calculate percentage difference? ((accepted value - experimental value) / accepted value) x 100
