A reading is made properly, but using a ruler that is at a much higher temperature than the one at which it was calibrated. Because of this increased temperature, the ruler expands. What effect does the higher temperature have on the reading, and how can the reading be made more accurate?
- AThe measurement will be subject to a random error. The measurement can be made more accurate by taking the average of several repeated measurements.
- BThe measurement will be subject to a random error. The measurement can be made more precise by taking the average of several repeated measurements.
- CThe measurement will be subject to a systematic error. The measurement can be made more accurate by taking the average of several repeated measurements.
- DThe measurement will be subject to a systematic error. The measurement can be made more precise by taking the average of several repeated measurements.
