1. What is the primary purpose of investigating error rates in measurements?a) To increase the speed of data collection b) To understand the accuracy and reliability of the measurements c) To reduce the cost of measurement tools d) To simplify the measurement process 2. Which of the following is a common source of systematic error in measurements?a) Random fluctuations in the environment b) Calibration errors in measurement instruments c) Observer bias during data recording d) Changes in measurement units 3. When analyzing error rates, what does the term "absolute error" refer to?a) The difference between the measured value and the true value b) The percentage of error relative to the true value c) The total error accumulated over multiple measurements d) The maximum possible error in a measurement 4. In a measurement experiment, if the error rate is found to be consistently high, what is the most appropriate first step to take?a) Change the measurement method b) Investigate the calibration of the measurement instruments c) Increase the sample size d) Ignore the error rate and proceed with the analysis 5. Which statistical method
