  1. A systematic error is an error that is consistent across all measurements, while a random error is an error that varies from measurement to measurement.
  2. A systematic error is an error that is due to a flaw in the measurement instrument, while a random error is an error that is due to chance.
  3. A systematic error is an error that is due to the individual being measured, while a random error is an error that is due to the measurement instrument.
  4. A systematic error is an error that is due to the context in which the measurement is taken, while a random error is an error that is due to the individual being measured.
