Question

for each of the following examples, select the type of measurement error that best describes what went wrong.
barney measured a tree branch to be 25 cm in diameter. he wrote \25 mm\ in his results.
camille w showed up at the lab. she opened it up and started using it right aw
neville pu sure the mass of the chemicals he needed.

Explanation:

Barney measured the diameter as 25 cm but recorded it as 25 mm. This is a misread measurement because he misrepresented the unit (and thus the value) of the measurement he took, not an issue with the instrument's calibration or using an incorrect instrument. The key here is that the measurement was taken correctly (25 cm) but the recording of the measurement (writing 25 mm) was a misreading of what he actually measured (in terms of unit conversion/recording).

Answer:

a misread measurement
