To calculate the Relative Percent Difference (RPD):
RPD=|X2−X1|(X2+X12)×100
Where:
RPD, short for relative percent difference, is a measure of the change in a value relative to the average of that value. For example, if a value in an experiment changed from 10 to 20, the RPD would be relative to the average of those two numbers. 10+202=15.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Calculate the relative percent difference:
RPD=|20−10|(20+102)×100=1015×100=66.67%
So, the Relative Percent Difference is 66.67%.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Calculate the relative percent difference:
RPD=|45−30|(45+302)×100=1537.5×100=40%
So, the Relative Percent Difference is 40%.
