Question
What is random error? How it can be minimized?
Solution
The random errors are those errors, which occur irregularly and hence are random with respect. to sign and size. These can arise due to random and unpredictable fluctuations in experimental conditions (e.g. unpredictable fluctuations in temperature, voltage supply, mechanical vibrations of experimental set-ups, etc), personal (unbiased) errors by the observer taking readings, etc.
The error can be minimized y taking the average of many observed values. Despite taking certain mesaures, it is hard to reduce exactly random errors.
