Across
- 1. A measurement that deviates significantly from the expected value of trend
- 3. A variable that has values which are described by labels
- 4. The accurate value in the absence of any errors
- 6. An experiment in which only the independent variable has been allowed to affect the dependent variable
- 8. A variable which may, in addition to the independent variable, affect the outcome of the investigation
- 9. These cause readings to be different from the true value in a non-predictable fashion
- 12. These cause readings to be spread about some value other than the true value
- 14. A measurement that can be represented as a number
- 16. A type of systematic caused by measuring instruments that have a false zero
- 17. The quantity between readings
- 19. The Sum of all repeat measurements divided by the number of measurements
- 20. A proposal offered to explain an observation
- 22. A descriptive observation that cannot be represented as a number
- 26. A Statement suggesting what will happen in the future, based on observation, experience or hypothesis
Down
- 2. How close to the true value you measurement is
- 3. A statement based on sound reasoning that is supported by experimental evidence
- 5. a type of categoric variable whose values are restricted to whole numbers
- 7. A measure of whether your result can be reproduced
- 8. A variable that can have any numerical value
- 9. An experiment that can be carried out by another investigator with the same result
- 10. The difference between the minimum and maximum measured values
- 11. Using known values to ensure the accuracy of your instrument
- 13. The variable for which values are changed or selected by the investigator
- 15. This is only achieved if an unbiased fair test has been conducted
- 18. An experiment that produces results that do not differ when measured again by the same investigator
- 21. The smallest observable change in the quantity being measured
- 23. Data which have been subjected to some form of validation.
- 24. A measure of how much spread there is about the mean value
- 25. The variable the value of which you measure for each and every change in the independent variable
