Question 1
Evaluate how both systematic and random errors could affect the reading of a newly developed weight scale that consistently reads 5 kg less than the actual weight, and a user’s fluctuating reading due to not stabilizing the scale.
💡 Hint: Analyze both consistent biases and unpredictable variances.
Question 2
A physics lab aims to measure the width of a desk. If repeated measurements yield 1.2m, 1.5m, and 1.3m, discuss how systematic and random errors might be present.
💡 Hint: Think about potential biases in measurements as well as random alterations.
