What are the two factors affects accurate measurement?

Calibration error and measurement error. Also, if the measurements are of different objects there may be random error.


Does the final temperature from the experiment equal to the final temperature from the calculation?

It should but it probably will not because of: experimental error measurement error calibration error (zero error)


What are the sources of error in the experiment calorimetry measurement?

Energy loss due to leaks in the calorimeter


What is a percent error?

It is a measure measurement of the amount of error made in an experiment. It is obtained by comparing the actual result, with the result gotten from the experiment. % error = [(experimental value - true value) / true value] x 100


What is an anova test?

An ANOVA is an analysis of the variation present in an experiment. It is a test of the hypothesis that the variation in an experiment is no greater than that due to normal variation of individuals' characteristics and error in their measurement.


The standard error of measurement is always zero when the reliability coefficient equals what number?

.00


Which property of a measurement is best estimated from the percent error?

Measurement error: obviously!


Why are several trials taken for each measurement in an experiment?

A good way to reduce error or increase measurement accuracy is to take several measurements and compute their average. In other words, you achieve accuracy through averaging. (This also validates the repeatability of the measurement.)


If a measurement is small is the percentage error high?

yes, it is. The smaller the measurement, the higher the percentage error.


What is error analysis?

the precentage of error in data or an experiment

What is an error in measurement?

A error in measurement is when the measurement taken is not actually correct. For instance, you measure a gap as 49 centimetres wide. You cut the plank of wood to fit that measurement. Then discover the wood you have just cut is too wide to neatly fit the gap. There has been an error in the measurement you have taken.
