Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The relative error is calculated as the difference between the measured value and the true value, divided by the true value, often expressed as a percentage. Here, the relative error = (820 MHz - 800 MHz) / 820 MHz = 20 / 820 = 0.02439, which is approximately 2.44%. Since the question seems to aim for a percentage and the closest option is -2.5%, that would be the correct choice, acknowledging a slight discrepancy in the exact calculation.
