1
Q
Random Errors
A
Random errors are errors of measurements in which the measured quantities differ from the mean value with different magnitudes and directions.
2
Q
Systematic Errors
A
Systematic errors are errors of measurements in which the measured quantities are displaced from the true value by fixed magnitude and in the same direction.
3
Q
Accuracy
A
Accuracy is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with the true value.
4
Q
Precision
A
Precision is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with each other.
