You can set the tolerance for your numerical questions as a numerical value by adding {tab} and the tolerance value after the answer.
If you change the tolerance for a question, your students' answers might not be scored accurately.
The default tolerance for numerical questions that do not check significant figures or decimal places is ±2%. For numerical questions that do check significant figures or decimal places, the default tolerance is ±1 at the last digit.
{tab} tolerance
where tolerance
is the non-negative numerical tolerance value by which your students' responses can differ
from your answer and be considered correct. To specify the tolerance as a percentage of a non-randomized answer, manually calculate the tolerance by multiplying the answer by the percentage tolerance you want to use.
