The weight of a rock sample is measured to be 2.5 pounds. What is the percent of error in the measurement?

To calculate the percent of error in a measurement, you need to know the actual or expected value and the measured value. In this case, the actual or expected weight of the rock sample is missing. If you provide me with the actual or expected weight, I can help you calculate the percent of error in the measurement.

Insufficient data. How are you weighing it?
