Measurement Errors BasicsOnline version Quiz on measurement errors and calibration by amani 1 What is parallax error? a Parallax error is when the scale is unreadable under bright light b Parallax error is only due to temperature changes c Parallax error is an inaccuracy from viewing a measurement scale at an angle, causing apparent shifts d Parallax error is a measurement error caused by instrument wear 2 What is the accurate way to take measurements from analog meters? a to measure accurately, align your eye directly perpendicular (straight-on) to the scale mark b measure from the side to avoid glare c use a ruler to approximate the value d read from the top of the scale without looking 3 What is zero error? a Zero error is when the scale is damaged but still usable b A meter with zero error is a measuring instrument that does not read zero when the quantity being measured is actually zero, causing all subsequent readings to be systematically incorrect. c Zero error means the instrument reads exactly zero at all times d Zero error only occurs at high temperatures 4 What are the types of measurement errors? Choose one or more answers a Random Errors b Systematic Errors c Human Errors d Wasted errors 5 What is calibration? a Calibration is the process of comparing a measuring instrument with a known standard to ensure: It shows the correct value It has no drift It is safe to use for quality decisions b Calibration is adjusting the instrument until it matches the user’s expectation c Calibration is replacing the instrument with a new one d Calibration is only about cleaning the instrument 6 How can you minimize measurement errors?
