The error in a set of observations is usually expressed in terms of the Standard Deviation of the measurement set. This implies that for a given plotted point, you have several measurements.
Measurement error: obviously!
Accuracy is a measure of how close to an absolute standard a measurement is made, while precision is a measure of the resolution of the measurement. Accuracy is calibration, and inaccuracy is systematic error. Precision, again, is resolution, and is a source of random error.
yes, it is. The smaller the measurement, the higher the percentage error.
To compute the standard error in refractive index from a graph, calculate the standard deviation of the data points and divide it by the square root of the sample size. This will give you the standard error in your refractive index measurement.

The same units as the mean itself. If the units of the mean, are, for example miles; then the error units are miles.
The purpose is to show how close one answer is to the other. Basically, to show how far off an answer is.
The accuracy of a measurement refers to how close it is to the accepted or true value. This can be assessed by comparing the measurement to a known standard or by considering the degree of error or uncertainty associated with the measurement.

In the field of analytical measurement, the z-multiplier is a measure of error. It indicates a statistical probability of error. It is calculated using standard formulas for normal distribution.
yes, it is. The smaller the measurement, the higher the percentage error.
Standard error is random error, represented by a standard deviation. Sampling error is systematic error, represented by a bias in the mean.
Calibration error and measurement error. Also, if the measurements are of different objects there may be random error.
