the purpose and function of standard error of mean
.00
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.
.00
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.

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.
Calibration error and measurement error. Also, if the measurements are of different objects there may be random error.
Standard error is random error, represented by a standard deviation. Sampling error is systematic error, represented by a bias in the mean.
A error in measurement is when the measurement taken is not actually correct. For instance, you measure a gap as 49 centimetres wide. You cut the plank of wood to fit that measurement. Then discover the wood you have just cut is too wide to neatly fit the gap. There has been an error in the measurement you have taken.
Then the calculated volume would also be wrong, in proportion to the error in measurement.
