Question

Can errors in a measurement be avoided? If not, why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

They cannot be avoided; they are part of the measuring process. Uncertainties are measures of random errors. These are errors incurred as a result of making measurements on imperfect tools which can only have certain degree of precision. Random error is due to factors which we cannot (or do not) control.
