Errors that have a definite cause (e.g., an uncalibrated pipette). These affect accuracy —how close you are to the true value.
Inherent fluctuations in any measurement. These affect precision . These errors typically follow a Gaussian (Normal) Distribution , forming the classic bell curve. 3. Significance Testing (The "Decision Makers") Statistical Methods in Analytical Chemistry (Ch...
