Approximation error, an Uncommon card
The approximation error in a given data value represents the significant discrepancy that arises when an exact, true value is compared against some approximation derived for it.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This inherent error in approximation can be quantified and expressed in two principal ways: as an absolute error, which denotes the direct numerical magnitude of this discrepancy irrespective of the true value's scale, or as a relative error, which provides a scaled measure of the error by considering the absolute error in proportion to the exact data value, thus offering a context-dependent…
- An approximation error can manifest due to a multitude of diverse reasons.
- Prominent among these are limitations related to computing machine precision, where digital systems cannot represent all real numbers with perfect accuracy, leading to unavoidable truncation or rounding.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Approximation error article was read about 15,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 29: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
How to get Approximation error
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
