Consider the following statements about errors.

1. Averaging reduces random error.

2. Calibration reveals systematic error.

3. Averaging reduces systematic error.

Which of the statements are correct?

  • A.1 and 3 only
  • B.1 and 2 only
  • C.1, 2 and 3
  • D.2 and 3 only

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

Statements 1 and 2 are correct and describe the two remedies for the two kinds of error: averaging for random, calibration for systematic. Statement 3 is the error the pairing exists to warn against - a systematic offset is present in every reading and averaging preserves it exactly.
