Can someone please tell me how to calculate the percent of error for a set of data points?

thanks so much!

To calculate the percent of error for a set of data points, you need to follow these steps:

1. Determine the accepted value or the true value for the data points. This value represents the ideal or expected outcome.

2. Calculate the absolute difference between each data point and the accepted value. This can be done by subtracting the accepted value from each data point.

3. Divide the absolute difference by the accepted value.

4. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percent of error.

The formula to calculate the percent of error is:

Percent of Error = (|Accepted Value - Data Point| / Accepted Value) * 100

By following these steps and using the formula, you can calculate the percent of error for a set of data points.
