1. Errors in measurement include instrumental errors, observational errors, random errors, and systematic errors.
2. Instrumental errors arise from defects in measurement instruments and include zero errors, backlash errors, and level errors.
3. Observational errors are due to personal factors of the observer and conditions of observation.
4. Random errors occur unpredictably while systematic errors are due to defects in instruments or measurement methods and produce consistent bias.
5. The accurate value of a measured quantity accounts for the measurement error and can be calculated using formulas provided.
