In compounding a prescription, a pharmacist weighed 0.050 g of a substance on a balance insensitive to quantities smaller than 0.004 g. what was the maximum potential error in terms of percentage?

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the problem:

Weight of the substance measured = 0.050 g

Smallest quantity that can be measured = 0.004 g

Now,

The Maximum potential error is calculated as:

Maximum potential error =

on substituting the respective values, we get

Maximum potential error =

or

Maximum potential error = 8%

step-by-step explanation :

we know that

the measurement of the outer angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

m< xzy is the outer angle

substitute the values

the measure of angle xoy is equal to

> by central angle

substitute the value

you bought 31 v bucks

step-by-step explanation:

25+6=31
