Question

You might say that this experiment was an attempt to build a scale, and then calibrate it against a scale that we trust (the electronic scale). So as not to give away the answer to the preceding question, let's assume that we're talking about a different scale with the same design. Several trials are conducted, and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated. The mass determined using this other balance scale does NOT agree with the mass measured on a digital scale. Is it possible that the balance scale and the electric scale are accurate, and the lack of agreement was just random?

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Answer 2

No.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a random error has been minimized or even eliminated.

What is a random error?

Random error is defined as the deviation of the total error from its mean value due to chance.

Random errors can result from the instrument not being precise or from mistakes by the researcher.

Random errors can be minimized by taking multiple readings and averaging the results.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a ransom error has been minimized.
