A student in the laboratory measures thickness of a wire using screw gauge. The readings are1.22 mm,1.23 mm,1.19 mmand1.20 mm. The percentage error isx121%. The value ofxis _____ .

Answer:
150.00
Solution:

The average value of the readings is xavg=1.19+1.20+1.22+1.234=1.21

Now, absolute error in measurement Δxavg=0.02+0.01+0.01+0.024=0.064=0.015

Percentage error in measurement is =0.0151.21×100%=150121%

So, the value of x=150.
