eliminating almost all forms of systematic errors. However, time constraints often determine whether or not this can be achieved, and in this case, there was not enough time to repeat the process with new equipment. Repeating the experiment with the same equipment is also very important. The more results collected, leads to a higher precision and therefore and more statically correct mean. This particular titration displayed the number and extent of random errors as quite significant. This is…
one another, thus meaning that the variable of time was strictly not controlled within the experiment. Small test to test discrepancies in pressure gage reading is another area in which random error may have occurred. As the scaling of the bicycle pump increased in values of 2 PSI, the assumed margin for error is 1…
Second, Brian learns to do new things by trial and error. Brian uses trial and error when he was making a bow and arrow. The author tells us that Brian tries to make a bow and arrow for hunting, but the arrow broke and mostly hurt his eyes. His first bow and arrow didn’t work as he thought, but he never gave up. In the…
the average weight difference is identical to that of the weight difference caused the glucose solution. Low levels of precision can be accounted for by random errors. Random errors are errors caused my unpredictable factors such as wind change or a mistake in the method. In this experiment, there are many possible sources of random errors that may have influenced the results and these may have…
North Andaman Islands (NAI) are one of the major island groups of Andaman and Nicobar archipelagos (Fig.1), consisting tropical rainforest encompassing varied species richness and diversity coupled with high endemism (Prasad et al..). As per Champion and Seth [year] the predominant forest types of the study area are Andaman Evergreen (EG), Andaman Semi-evergreen (SEG), Andaman Moist deciduous (MD), Littoral and Mangrove forests. Major part of the island is covered with SEG which is scattered at…
The hypotheses of this research will be to determine if parents should use corporal punishment and can corporal punishment be an acceptable discipline tool in the rearing of children. The method will include questionnaires, demographic data, surveys, and incentive pay. Past research revealed that over 90% of parents physically punished their children (Straus, 1983; Straus, Gelles & Steinmetz, 1980; Wauchope & Straus, 1990). Sampling of college students indicated similar data with a 90%…
The primary method of this type of research begins with a hypothesis, then the scientists compile set questionnaires in order to gather data, then analyze it. There are high degrees of error in this field of study due to a wide range of factors associated in each stage of the research process. These…
on the x- axis leading to a gradient of 1/√g. Two lines of best-fit are to be found; one using the standard high/low method and secondly one using the unweighted method of least squares. Gradients are found for each of theses lines (along with its error when using the unweighted method of least squares) and these values rearranged to find the value for gravitational…
scatter, and consisted of an outlier in the sample in which the ratio of NaCl: deionised water was 10:30mL. The outlier and scatter may have been due to random errors, which caused the results to be unreliable. Due to this, the raw data does not support the hypothesis. Thus, a line of best fit was drawn in order to reduce the effect of random errors, and statistically remove the outliers, to give a better representation of what the results should have been. This line of best fit suggests that…
Seagrass Company Audit Seagrass Company employs Carol Jones, an independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to conduct the organization’s annual accounting audit. In conducting accounting audits, auditors employ sampling strategies of key general ledger accounts and transactions to determine the effectiveness of internal controls, accuracy of data, and detect potential misstatements and fraudulent activities. Examination of Ms. Jones’ completed audit reveals incorrect assumptions, statements…
