Percent Error Review

For those that only write lab reports once a term or so, the percent error formula is usually a calculation worth inserting into your dicussion. 

This type of calculation compares the value you got from the experiement and the published value. 

Percent Error = |calculated - published| / published x 100

This assumes that your calculated value and the published value is in the same units.  If not, they should be converted to the same units.
