Give two specific sources of measurement error that occurred (or could have occurred) when measuring your object. Simply saying "Human error" or "we measured differently" is too general and thus is not an acceptable answer. Be specific in describing the sources of error.

The item measured was not changing, so ideally everyone should have the same results, yet many of you will have different results. These differences are most likely due to a source of error known as measurement error or measurement variation. Measurement error refers to differences in measurement of the same object, whether it is repetitive measurements by the same person or measurements made by different people (or different instruments). Measurement error is also sometimes referred to as human error. Human error must be eliminated as much as possible in order to be able to see how much individual variation there is. PREP Give two specific sources of measurement error that occurred (or could have occurred) when measuring your object. Simply saying "Human error" or "we measured differently" is too general and thus is not an acceptable answer. Be specific in describing the sources of error. 1. 1339/ 2.
