Errors and Uncertainty in Experimental Data
Causes and Types of Errors
?
Conducting research in any science course is dependent upon obtaining measurements. No measure is ever exact due to errors in instrumentation and measuring skills. If you were to obtain the mass of an object with a digital balance, the reading gives you a measure with a specific set of values. We can assume that the actual measure lies either slightly above or slightly below that reading. The range is the uncertainly of the measurement taken. More accurate instruments have a smaller range of uncertainty. Whenever you take a measurement, the last recorded digit is your estimate. We call digits in a measurement significant figures.
?
All measurements have inherent uncertainty. We therefore need to give some indication of the reliability of measurements and the uncertainties in the results calculated from these measurements. When processing your experimental results, a discussion of uncertainties should be included. When writing the conclusion to your lab report you should evaluate your experiment and its results in terms of the various types of errors. To better understand the outcome of experimental data an estimate of the size of the systematic errors compared to the random errors should be considered. Random errors are due to the accuracy of the equipment and systematic errors are due to how well the equipment was used or how well the experiment was controlled. We will focus on the types of experimental uncertainty, the expression of experimental results, and a simple method for estimating experimental uncertainty when several types of measurements contribute to the final result.

?
A random error makes the measured value both smaller and larger than the true value. Chance alone determines if it is smaller or larger. Reading the scales of a balance, graduated cylinder, thermometer, etc. produces random errors. In other wo
