For each of the next few statements, choose the best answer from
the choices in
parentheses to fill in the blank space: (Random or
Systematic)
a) A high amount of __________ error causes a large uncertainty
value.
b) A high amount of __________ error causes your result value to be
different from
your theoretical.
c) The effects of __________ error can be reduced by conducting
multiple trials.
Before answering
Random error is due to loss of precision in the instrument and systematic error is due to loss of accuracy.
The cause of random error is not known and hence this error cannot be removed but the result certainty can be increased by increasing the number of trials.
The causes of systematic error is known to us and this error can be removed either by using proper instrument, reducing personal errors in measurement.
now we come back to the question
(a) Random results in uncertainty.
(b) Systematic error results in loss of accuracy.
(c) Random error can be reduced by increasing the trials
