What is another word for random error?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈandəm ˈɛɹə] (IPA) 
Random errors, also known as chance errors, refer to the unpredictable and random fluctuations that occur in a measurement or experiment. These errors are typically due to natural variations in the environment or equipment, and their effects can be minimized through careful experimental design and data collection techniques. Other synonyms for random error or chance error include stochastic error, sampling error, or noise, which all imply the same level of unpredictability and variability in measurement. It is important to understand and account for random errors in research studies, as they can influence the accuracy and reliability of findings. By using rigorous statistical analysis methods, researchers can distinguish between random errors and systematic errors to draw valid conclusions.
