WHAT IS ERROR ??? Error = Measured mean value True value Accuracy Precision
Types of errors : 1.Determinate /Systematic errors 2.Indeterminate / Random errors
DETERMINATE (SYSTEMATIC) ERRORS: These are errors that possess a definite value together with a reasonable assignable cause; however, in principle these avoidable errors may be measured and accounted for conveniently.
TYPES: (a)Personal Errors (b) Instrumental Errors (c)Reagent Errors (d)Constant Errors (e)Proportional Errors (f)Errors due to Methodology (g)Additive Errors
INDETERMINATE (RANDOM) ERRORS: As the name suggests, indeterminate errors cannot be pin-pointed to any specific well- defined reasons. They are usually manifested due to the minute variations which take place inadvertently in several successive
METHODS OF MINIMISING ERRORS: Calibration of Instruments Blank Determination Cross-checking Results by Different Methods of Analysis Method of Standard Addition
