Errors and Uncertainty in Experimental Data Causes and Types of Errors ? Conducting research in any science course is dependent upon obtaining measurements. No measure is ever exact due to errors in instrumentation and measuring skills. If you were to obtain the mass of an object with a digital balance, the reading gives you a measure with a specific set of values. We can assume that the actual measure lies either slightly above or slightly below that reading. The range is the uncertainly of the measurement taken. More accurate instruments have a smaller range of uncertainty. Whenever you ta
