Percent error is often expressed as the absolute value of the difference between the true value and the experimental value, divided by the true value: \(\text { percent error }=\frac{\mid \text { true value }-\text { experimental value } \mid}{\mid \text { true value } \mid} \times 100 \%\) T

Family size. Suppose we want to estimate household size, where a household is defined as people living together in the same dwelling, and sharing living accommodations. If we select students at random at an elementary school and ask them what their family size is, will this be a good measure of house
