|
human error
|
|
|
lack of calibration
|
|
|
too many significant figures

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -These limitations, also called measurement errors, are usually classified into three categories, namely, systematic errors, random errors and drift errors. Systematic errors are limitations that are inherent in the operation of the measuring instrument.
Detailed explanation-2: -Precision is a measure of statistical variability. It describes random errors which is caused by permanent, unpredictable fluctuations of measuring instrument. In other words, it basically describes closeness of the measured values.
