  2. Observational error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observational_error

    For example, a spectrometer fitted with a diffraction grating may be checked by using it to measure the wavelength of the D-lines of the sodium electromagnetic spectrum which are at 600 nm and 589.6 nm. The measurements may be used to determine the number of lines per millimetre of the diffraction grating, which can then be used to measure the ...

  3. Correction (newspaper) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correction_(newspaper)

    Newspapers usually have specific policies for readers to report factual errors. Generally, this requires the reader to contact an editor, pointing out the mistake and providing the correct information. Sometimes, an editor or affected reporter will be asked to refer to a note or press release to determine how the mistake was made. [citation needed]

    Below is an example of an event tree that represents a system fire: Under the condition that all of a task’s sub-tasks are fully represented within an HRAET and the failure probability for each sub-task is known it is possible to calculate the final reliability for the task.

    Here are steps you can take if you’ve made a mistake while writing a check. Cross out the mistake by drawing one neat line through the middle of the mistake. Do not scribble it out or black it ...

  6. Error detection and correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

    One example is the Linux kernel's EDAC subsystem (previously known as Bluesmoke), which collects the data from error-checking-enabled components inside a computer system; besides collecting and reporting back the events related to ECC memory, it also supports other checksumming errors, including those detected on the PCI bus.

  7. Accuracy and precision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision

    In logic simulation, a common mistake in evaluation of accurate models is to compare a logic simulation model to a transistor circuit simulation model. This is a comparison of differences in precision, not accuracy. Precision is measured with respect to detail and accuracy is measured with respect to reality. [16] [17]

  8. Misuse of statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misuse_of_statistics

    For example, in medical science, correcting a falsehood may take decades and cost lives. Misuses can be easy to fall into. Professional scientists, mathematicians and even professional statisticians, can be fooled by even some simple methods, even if they are careful to check everything.

    The latter is true. I'm not sure why they would have the first one in there. The only non-editing mistake explanation I can think of is if they took some specific example. The principle is that Δx Δp ≥ h/4π, so it is possible to pick specific examples where Δx Δp = h/2π. Still sounds fishy. User:laurascudder
