True Error given Relative Error Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

True Error = Relative Error*Observed Value
ε_x = R_x*x
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

True Error - True error is the difference between the true value of a quantity and its observed value.
Relative Error - Relative error is a measure of the error in relation to the size of the measurement.
Observed Value - Observed value is the value which the observer notes during surveying.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Relative Error: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Observed Value: 159 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ε_x = R_x*x --> 2*159

Evaluating ... ...

ε_x = 318

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

318 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

318 <-- True Error

Mean Error given Specified Error of Single Measurement

LaTeX Go Error of Mean = Specified Error of a Single Measurement/(sqrt(Number of Observations))

Probable Error of Mean

LaTeX Go Probable Mean of Error = Probable Error in Single Measurement/(Number of Observations^0.5)

Mean Error given Sum of Errors

LaTeX Go Error of Mean = Sum of Errors of Observations/Number of Observations

True Error

LaTeX Go True Error = True Value-Observed Value

True Error given Relative Error Formula

LaTeX Go

True Error = Relative Error*Observed Value
ε_x = R_x*x

What is an Indirect Observation?

An indirect observation is one in which the observed value is deduced from the measurement of some related quantities, e.g., the measurement of angle by repetition (a multiple of the angle being measured.)

How to Calculate True Error given Relative Error?

True Error given Relative Error calculator uses True Error = Relative Error*Observed Value to calculate the True Error, The True Error given Relative Error relates the relationship between the relative error and observed value. True Error is denoted by ε_x symbol.

How to calculate True Error given Relative Error using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for True Error given Relative Error, enter Relative Error (R_x) & Observed Value (x) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the True Error given Relative Error calculation can be explained with given input values -> 318 = 2*159.

FAQ

What is True Error given Relative Error?

The True Error given Relative Error relates the relationship between the relative error and observed value and is represented as ε_x = R_x*x or True Error = Relative Error*Observed Value. Relative error is a measure of the error in relation to the size of the measurement & Observed value is the value which the observer notes during surveying.

How to calculate True Error given Relative Error?

The True Error given Relative Error relates the relationship between the relative error and observed value is calculated using True Error = Relative Error*Observed Value. To calculate True Error given Relative Error, you need Relative Error (R_x) & Observed Value (x). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Relative Error & Observed Value and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate True Error?

In this formula, True Error uses Relative Error & Observed Value. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

True Error = True Value-Observed Value
