Error analysis

All measurements made in lab involve systematic error. Analyzing this error in quantitative investigations is an important part of understanding the relationships between the data and the calculated result. In this project, you will conduct an experiment and determine the sources of systematic error. You will determine the effect of each source of systematic error on the data that is collected, the effect of that data error on each step of the calculations, and finally the effect on the final calculated result. Each relationship will be explained along the way.
