  1. 1. These cause readings to differ from the true value by a consistent amount each time a measurement is made
  2. 5. the maximum and minimum values of the independent or dependent variables

  8. 16. Uncertainties
  9. 17. These cause readings to be spread about the true value due results varying in an unpredictable way from one measurement to the next
