My students are allowed to use ERROR only when there is a known
value to compare their lab results to. If they attempt to determine
the acceleration due to gravity in the lab, they can report that
they found it to be 9.71 m/s/s an absolute error of 0.10 m/s/s or
that they measured the value to within 1% of the accepted value, or
that their value only had a 1% error.
