Systematic errors are caused by flaws in the experimental setup or equipment, such as incorrect calibration or faulty instruments. These errors consistently affect the results in the same way, leading to a bias in the data.
Random errors, on the other hand, are caused by unpredictable fluctuations in the measurement process, such as variations in environmental conditions or human error. These errors are typically small and can be reduced by taking multiple measurements and averaging the results.
In summary, systematic errors are caused by consistent flaws in the experimental setup, while random errors are caused by unpredictable fluctuations in the measurement process.

Systematic Error
- Instrument error: Inaccuracies in the measuring instrument, such as calibration issues or mechanical defects.
- Environmental factors: Changes in temperature, humidity, or other environmental conditions that affect the measurement process.
- Methodological bias: Errors introduced by the research method itself, such as sampling bias or data collection procedures.
- Observer bias: Subconscious influence of the observer's beliefs or expectations on the measurement results.
- Reporting bias: Errors in the recording or reporting of data due to transcription mistakes, misinterpretation, or selective reporting.
Random Error
- Measurement variation: Inherent variability in the measured characteristic, resulting in different values obtained from repeated measurements.
- Sampling variability: Differences between the sample and the population from which it was drawn, leading to variation in measurement results.
- Environmental noise: Random fluctuations in the environment that can affect the measurement (e.g., traffic noise, electrical interference).
- Data entry errors: Mistyping, transcription errors, or other mistakes while manually entering data.
- Rounding errors: Approximation errors when converting measurements to a certain level of precision.
