We talked about what lab error (uncertainty) is. We discussed how there is no such thing as "human error" in physics laboratory measurements.
Error has to do with the reasons and limitations that keep us from measuring to the precision that we would like.
We also talked about the differences between precision and accuracy. The picture below is an illustration of precision vs. accuracy.
