Evaluation Evaluation Experiment one: This experiment was quite accurate‚ as when it is compared to the manufactures line which is on the same graph‚ we can see that this line is at most only 0.4? different form the manufactures line. This is a percentage difference of approximately 8%‚ using the formula: Difference ? original X 100 This shows that the results were good‚ as 8% is a very small margin of error. The error bars on the graph show that the most inaccurate result was the 60cm result
