Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Percent error: 6.00%Step-by-step explanation:We find the mean of the three massesMean = 1.20 + 0.91 + 1.08 / 3Mean = 1.06 kgThe experimental value of mass is = 1.06 kgThe actual value of mass = 1 kgThe percent error is: (experimental value - actual value/actual value)*100Percent error : (1.06 - 1 / 1)*100Percent error: 6.00%
