Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
“Relation between reliability of a measurement and the instrument” should be identified.
Concept introduction:
The instrument is a device which is required for the measurement of a parameter such as, weight, height or volume and the less error a device having, the more consistence the reliability of measurement occurs.
