What is validity?

The extent to which the results are able


to answer the question originally asked
in the practical.

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc

State 3 types of errors.

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
State the 2 types of errors.

Systematic, random and experimenter

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc

What are systematic errors?

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What are systematic errors?

Errors that results in the measured


values differing by the same amount
every time.

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What are random errors?

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What are random errors?

Errors which do not have an identifiable


cause.

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What are experimenter errors ?

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What are experimenter errors?

Experimenter errors occur through


human error e.g. the researcher might
misread a measurement, or write
something down incorrectly.

How can the reliability of results be
improved?

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
How can the reliability of results be improved?

By repeating the practical until


concordant results are obtained, identify
and exclude anomalies.

What are confounding variables?

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What are confounding variables?

Variables other than the independent


variable that may affect the dependent
variable.

How might accuracy be limited in making
measurements?

How might accuracy be limited in making
measurements?

The size of increments of the apparatus


used may be limiting.
