Answer:

Percent error in meter stick measurement is 5.5%.

Explanation:

Given data:

Measured value = 25 cm

Accepted value = 23.7 cm

percent error = ?

Solution:

Subtract the accepted value from measured value divided by accepted value multiply by 100.

Formula:

(measured value - accepted value / accepted value ) × 100

Now we will put the values.

(25 cm - 23.7 cm/23.7 cm ) × 100

1.3 cm/23.7 cm ) × 100

0.055× 100

5.5%

Percent error in meter stick measurement is 5.5%.
