Answer:
Relative Error = 0.0001%
Explanation:
What is Relative Error?
This is the ratio of the absolute error of a measurement to the measurement being taken. Relative Error is expressed as a percentage and has no units.
Given data
Weight of purchased apples= 19kg
RE = 0.0021/19
RE= 0.0001%
Hence the Relative Error is 0.0001%
