Random error can be inherent to the system being studied or to the instruments being used to measure characteristics of the system. Sometimes it is possible to find or create measuring instruments that produce results with less random error; sometimes not. Statistical methods can often be employed to estimate actual values shorn of random error. If it not too expensive to obtain individual measurements then it's advisable to gather more measurements so that the statistical methods will produce better results.

Systematic errors are often reduced by looking for their sources and eliminating them or by estimating the levels of distortion caused by each of them and correcting measurements accordingly.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
