What is the difference between the actual value and the approximate value obtained from the experimental observation or from numerical computation?
What is the difference between the actual value and the approximate value obtained from the experimental observation or from numerical computation?
- Truncation
- Error (correct)
- Accuracy
- Round-off
What is the formula to calculate the Error?
What is the formula to calculate the Error?
- E = x - xa (correct)
- E = xa - x
- E = xa / x
- E = xa + x
