Using a specific method, your calculated density of aluminum is d1 = 2.75 g/cm3. Using a different method, your calculated density d2 = 2.67 g/cm3. Calculate the percentage difference between the two methods (TWO DECIMAL PLACES).

Respuesta :

Answer:

The percentage difference between the two methods is 2.95%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage difference is the difference between two values divided by the average of the two values. Shown as a percentage.

The difference means to subtract one value from another and the average is given by

[tex]average=\frac{first \:value+second \:value}{2}[/tex]

Given

[tex]d_1 = 2.75 \:{g/cm^3}\\d_2 = 2.67 \:{g/cm^3}[/tex]

The difference is [tex]2.75-2.67=0.08[/tex]

The average is [tex]\frac{2.75+2.67}{2} =2.71[/tex]

And the percentage difference is

[tex]\frac{0.08}{2.71} \times100\%=2.95\%[/tex]
