There is an error in the eqn for %error at the top of page 6.
If you look at the footnote for the data table on page 9 or
page F-5 in Appendix F of the manual you'll see it should
be
exp value - true value
% error = -------------------------------- x 100
true value
Report both the error and % error with the appropriate sign,
neg. or pos., rather than the absolute value. It can tell you
something about your errors.
