Question 1

What are systematic errors?

  • Errors that vary randomly
  • Consistent errors due to instrumentation
  • Errors that do not affect measurements

💡 Hint: Think about which type of errors repeat consistently.

Question 2

True or False: Calibration can eliminate all types of measurement errors.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider that there can be different types of errors.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A researcher finds that every mass measurement they take with a balance is always 5 grams higher than the known weight. Describe a systematic error in this context.

💡 Hint: What fault in the equipment could cause all measurements to be consistently high?

Question 2

After investigating repeated variations in temperature readings in an experiment, a lab team discovers their thermometer consistently reads 2 degrees higher than actual. Explain the significance of identifying this systematic error in scientific experiments.

💡 Hint: How could not identifying this error impact the results of the experiment?
