Define equipment error and explain how to reduce it?
the equipment error is the percentage of uncertainty on the equipment, so for example, a measuring cylinder has the percentage error of around 0.5cm3. The only way I know off to reduce error percentage is to well increase sample size/ volume A etc. as the calculation is something like (equipment error / quantity measured x 100) this would mean that having a higher quantity to measure will therefore decrease percentage error. hope it helps.
How do you reduce systematic error?
Systematic error is the result of complete equilibrium. The method to reduce systematic error is to introduce a proof that demonstrates the group has error in their consensus.
How do you overcome or reduce the problem of random error and systematic error while doing an experiment?

How do you reduce error in measurement?
take reading 4 to 5 times, and take its average this will reduce error
How do you calculate percentage error for equipment?
Look on the equipment for where it says the plus or minus figure for accuracy (for a burette it is usually + and _ 0.1cm3) divide this by the amount you measured , times 100 to make it a percentage. ---- ---- Percentage Error = Maximum Error / Measured Value X 100 For example.Maximum Error for the following apparatus are:Balance = +/- 0.01Pippette = +/- 0.1 And the Measured value for each are:Balance = 0.15Pippette = 25 Then...the percentage error is:Balance percentage error = 0.01 / 0.15 X 100 = 66.66%Pippette percentage error = 0.1 / 25 X 100 = 0.3% You can now also work out your maximum total error.Maximum total Percentage error = Balance Percentage error + Pippette Percentage errorMaximum total percentage error = 66.66 + 0.4 = 67.06%
