To calculate the percent error, you can use the following formula:

$\text{Percent Error} = \left|\frac{\text{Actual Value} - \text{Calculated Value}}{\text{Actual Value}}\right| \times 100$

Given:

• Actual Value = 0.998
• Calculated Value = 0.982

Substitute the values into the formula:

$\text{Percent Error} = \left|\frac{0.998 - 0.982}{0.998}\right| \times 100$

$\text{Percent Error} = \left|\frac{0.016}{0.998}\right| \times 100$

$\text{Percent Error} \approx 1.60\%$

So, the percent error is approximately 1.60%.
