16
Q

It is the difference between the result of the measurement and the true value and it is a mathematical way to show the uncertainty in the measurement

A

Error

17
Q

It is a result of unpredictable changes during data measurement and it is a chance difference between the observed and true values of something

A

Random Error

18
Q

It usually comes from the measuring instrument itself. It is a consistent or proportional difference between the observed and true values of something

A

Systematic Error

19
Q

It is the absolute value of the measured experimental value minus the accepted value divided by the accepted value, multiplied by 100%

A

Percent Error
