Question

how to handle errors in this high-school experiment?

Answer 1

if you have done a error in a experiment have to retain it.

Answer 2

t is impossible to make an exact measurement. Therefore, all experimental results are wrong. Just how wrong they are depends on the kinds of errors that were made in the experiment.

Be careful! Wrong doesn't mean bad!

We're using the word "wrong" to emphasize a point. All experimental data is imperfect. Scientists know that their results always contain errors. However, one of their goals is to minimize errors, and to be aware of what the errors may be. Significant digits is one way of keeping track of how much error there is in a measurement.

Since they know that all results contain errors, scientists almost never give definite answers. They are far more likely to say: "it is likely that ..." or "it is probable that ..." than to give an exact
