Errors occur when a measured value differs from the true value, as no measurement can be perfect. There are two types of errors - random errors which cannot be predicted or avoided, and systematic errors which are consistent and can be corrected. Careful techniques and precise equipment can minimize errors to an acceptable level.

An error is the difference between a measured, or observed, value and
the “true” value. No measurement can be performed perfectly (except for counting), so every measurement must contain some error. Errors can be minimized to an acceptable level by the use of skilled techniques and appropriately precise equipment. For the purposes of calculating
