For example, if the mean height in a population of 21-year-old men is 1.75 meters, and one randomly chosen man is 1.80 meters tall, then the "error" is 0.05 meters; if the randomly chosen man is 1.70 meters tall, then the "error" is −0.05 meters.
When either randomness or uncertainty modeled by probability theory is attributed to such errors, ... In survey-type situations, these errors can be mistakes in the ...

In surveying, tape correction(s) refer(s) to correcting measurements for the effect of slope angle, expansion or contraction due to temperature, and the tape's sag, which varies with the applied tension.
These delayed signals cause measurement errors that are different for each type of GPS signal due to its dependency on the wavelength. [4] A variety of techniques, most notably narrow correlator spacing, have been developed to mitigate multipath errors. For long delay multipath, the receiver itself can recognize the wayward signal and discard it.
For a confidence level, there is a corresponding confidence interval about the mean , that is, the interval [, +] within which values of should fall with probability . Precise values of z γ {\displaystyle z_{\gamma }} are given by the quantile function of the normal distribution (which the 68–95–99.7 rule approximates).
Non-sampling errors in survey estimates can arise from: [3] Coverage errors, such as failure to accurately represent all population units in the sample, or the inability to obtain information about all sample cases; Response errors by respondents due for example to definitional differences, misunderstandings, or deliberate misreporting;
