Not every measurement made is exact and there is always an uncertainty with each one. The degree of uncertainty may be high or low due to different experimental errors, but no measurement can be 100% certain. Random Errors – Unpredictable errors due to limitations on our ability to make physical measurements. – Measurements may be…
