How do you calculate the absolute error of each of the data 201, 201,?
Normally, in statistics, it is customary to assess the error with respect to mean. But for any given data, we can also assess the error with respect to any arbitrary point. When we say absolute error, we are not concern with the direction of the error that is to say whether the selected value is less or more than 207. But when we considered actual error, we are also giving weightage to whether the error is in negative direction to positive direction. Let us calculate the absolute error for the given data: |201207| = |-6| = 6 |201207| = |-6| = 6 |205207| = |-2| = 2 |203207| = |-4| = 4 ans so on.
