Evaluating Data Flashcards
What does Evaluate mean
Evaluate means to look at the data you have and decide on the quality of it and also state how you could improve it if you did the experiment again
What does confidence mean
Confidence means the amount of trust you have in your experiment so if you point out things that were wrong the first time and don’t do them a second time you should have more confidence in your results
Random error
A random error is an error that can affect the spread or cause outliers,For example the temperature in a roomchanging because a door was opened
Systematic error
This makes your measurements less accurate for example a newtonmeter reading 1N even though there is nothing attached to it.
