Question

discuss possible sources of error in the following measurement. then state whether you think the measurement is given with a believable level of precision. the most visited theme park in the world is magic kingdom park at walt disney world resort in florida, which had 20,960,000 visitors in 2019. systematic errors could be present with the given measurement. the given value has too much precision to be believable.

Explanation:

Systematic errors occur when there is a consistent deviation from the true value due to a flaw in the measurement system. In this case, accurately counting the exact number of visitors (20,960,000) to a theme park over an entire year is highly challenging. There could be issues with the ticketing system (e.g., multiple - day passes, complimentary tickets not being counted accurately), human error in data entry, or limitations in the technology used to track visitors. Given the complexity of tracking millions of visitors, claiming such a precise number (down to the single digit) is not believable as it is likely an over - precision.

Answer:

Systematic errors could be present with the given measurement. The given value has too much precision to be believable.
