Content descriptor identify the impact of measurement errors on the accuracy of results in practical contexts

Elaborations

• • Elaboration describing settings where measurement errors may impact research results and how measurement data impacted by error can result in biased findings
• • Elaboration analysing instruments and methods for measuring in investigations and modelling activities
• • Elaboration determining the impact that compounding errors have on financial calculations; for example, considering the effect of truncation on money amounts for large scale customer populations
• • Elaboration investigating the impact of measurement errors in the perception and control systems of autonomous vehicles, such as measurement errors due to sensor limitations
• • Elaboration investigating scientific measuring techniques, including dating methods and genetic sequencing, applied to First Peoples of Australia and their artefacts, and the social impact of measurement errors
