Questions and Answers

What is the main characteristic of systematic errors?

  • They affect all data in a set differently
  • They vary in magnitude for replicate measurements
  • They have an assignable cause and affect all data in a set in the same way (correct)
  • They result in random errors in measurement results

    • Which type of error results from nonideal chemical or physical behavior of analytical systems?

  • Personal errors
  • Instrumental errors
  • Method errors (correct)
  • Constant error

    • What defines a constant error?

  • It is independent of sample concentration (correct)
  • It decreases as the size of the quantity measured increases
  • It is caused by nonideal instrument behavior
  • It varies with the size of the sample taken for analysis

    • How do proportional errors behave with the size of the sample taken for analysis?
