Answers: random error, systematic error, correction, or mistake

a) Your ability to interpolate to 1/5 of a smallest scaledevision.
                b.) Characterizes the accuracy of a measurement
                c.) A bent voltmeter needle does not read 0 when 0 volts areapplied
                d.) The voltmeter reads +0.03 V when 0 volts are applied
                e.) Can be found by taking repeated measurements with the sameprocedure and equipment
                f.) The calibratin uncertaint of a meter
                g.) You use grams in a calculation instead of kilograms
                h.) the width of a reference edge in a positionmeasurement
                i.) You buy tires which are known to be 5% too small so thatyour speedometer reads 5% too high.
                j.) A meter needle is a few mm above the scale markings. Yourline of sight is not perpendicular to the voltmeter dialface.

Explanation / Answer

a) Your ability to interpolate to 1/5 of a smallest scaledevision. ---correction
b.) Characterizes the accuracy of a measurement ---systematic error

c.) A bent voltmeter needle does not read 0 when 0 volts areapplied -random error
d.) The voltmeter reads +0.03 V when 0 volts are applied -correction
e.) Can be found by taking repeated measurements with the sameprocedure and equipment -random error
f.) The calibratin uncertaint of a meter ---mistake
g.) You use grams in a calculation instead of kilograms --systematic error
h.) the width of a reference edge in a positionmeasurement --correction
i.) You buy tires which are known to be 5% too small so thatyour speedometer reads 5% too high. --random error
j.) A meter needle is a few mm above the scale markings. Yourline of sight is not perpendicular to the voltmeter dialface. --random error
