Distinguish between determinate error and indeterminate error?

Answer 1

Indeterminate errors are random errors that randomly fluctuate and cannot be eliminated.

Determinate errors

Answer 2

Determinate errors are systematic errors that can be identified and corrected, such as instrumental errors or environmental factors affecting measurements. Indeterminate errors, on the other hand, are random errors that cannot be precisely identified or eliminated, such as human error or fluctuations in experimental conditions. Determinate errors can be reduced through calibration and control measures, while indeterminate errors are typically addressed through statistical analysis and repeated measurements to estimate their impact.

Answer 3

Determinate errors are those errors which are known and controllable errors e.g instrumental errors, personal errors etc. Indeterminate errors are those which are beyond the analyst's control and are unknown errors e.g room temperature etc. Both types are errors occurring during the measurement of physical quantities.

Answer 4

Determinate error is an error that is caused by the improper functioning of the instrument.These type of errors can be avoided by using an instrument that works properly.
