Zero error of an instrument introduces
- ✓Systematic errors
- BRandom errors
- CBoth
- DNone
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Systematic errors
a
Random errors in experimental measurements are caused by unknown and unpredictable changes in the experiment.
Random errors in experimental measurements are caused by unknown and unpredictable changes in the experiment.
Systematic errors in experimental observations usually come from the measuring instruments.
Thus zero error is recognized as the systematic error (factual).
