  1. ## error and percent error
  
  Ugh, greatest possible error and percent error is not my best friend.
  
  How do I solve these problems...Ive never covered this stuff in school.

  Hi LivinLife,
  
  What problems? I don't see any.
  
  The Greatest Possible Error of a measurement is one half of the unit of measure to which the measure is being rounded.
  
  Example: If you are measuring a length using inches, the greatest possible error would be 1/2 inch. If you measured in meters, the greatest possible error would be 50 cm (1/2 meter).
  
  Per Cent Error = $\frac{\text{Observed value - True Value}}{\text{True Value}} \times 100$

  haha sorry...
  um the questions im trying to figure out are:
  
  Find the greatest possible error for the measurement 0.991g
  Find the percent error for 2cm (round to the nearest hundredth)
explanation: The document is a forum thread discussing the concepts of greatest possible error and percent error. The initial post expresses frustration with these topics and asks for help. The second post provides definitions and an explanation of these concepts. The third post clarifies the specific questions the user is trying to solve.
