An experiment is performed to obtain the value of a physical property. If the true (i. e., correct) value of the property is 50 and the measured (i. e., experimental) value is 32, the percent error of the experimental result is:

White moths were found in huge numbers in the city of Birmingham. These moths could be easily camouflaged by the trees. Because of sudden industrial development, the trees in the city were covered with soot.
