In five successive measurements, the mass of a ball is measured to be $2.61 \,g, 2.58 \,g, 2.40 \,g, 2.73 \,g$ and $2.80 \,g$. The mean absolute error in the measurement is (in $\,g$)

$A$ physical parameter $a$ can be determined by measuring the parameters $b, c, d$ and $e$ using the relation $a = \frac{b^\alpha c^\beta}{d^\gamma e^\delta}$. If the maximum percentage errors in the measurement of $b, c, d$ and $e$ are $b_1\%, c_1\%, d_1\%$ and $e_1\%$ respectively,then the maximum percentage error in the value of $a$ determined by the experiment is:
