Carpi and Egger’s reading “Uncertainty, Error, and Confidence” discusses how there will always be a small portion of error in all scientist’s works. However, there are two different types of error: statistical and systematic and the main difference between the two is that statistical error is random and systematic error can be compensated for during an experiment. Scientists do not report just a single value as a measurement due to these types of errors in experiments, they report a certain…
