Question 8 (1 point)
a student obtains a set of measurements for the mass, and size (length, width and
height) of a iron anvil and compare their results with the known values for the anvil.
they find that their results were off by about 20%. the student then repeats the
measurements multiple times, average all of the results and find that now their results
are only off by about 2%.
in this case, which of the follow statements best describes the experimental
uncertainty?
random uncertainty
(human error
broken equipment
systematic uncertainty
