Question

find the absolute and relative errors in the following situation. your bike speedometer reads 23 miles per hour when you are actually traveling 25 miles per hour. the absolute error is miles per hour (type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the absolute error

The formula for absolute error is \(| \text{Measured Value}-\text{True Value}|\). Here, the measured value is \(23\) and the true value is \(25\). So, \(|23 - 25|\).

$$|23-25|=|- 2| = 2$$

Answer:

\(2\)
