Calculation Results for Hexane Density - Get Best Value

[xzh]

I need to know this for the finals =(.

The difference between "average deviation" and "relative error" calculated. If you were interested in obtaining the best possible value to the accepted value of the density of hexane, which of these figures would be of most use and why?

Presumably you are talking about a series of experimental measurements. In that case, the average is the best possible value. To answer your question, you need to give precise definitions to the terms "average deviation" and "relative error", both of which determine brackets around the average, defining how good the average is.
