In most experiments two or more quantities have to be measured and a series of readings is obtained for each of them. Curves are then drawn showing how the various values so obtained vary under various changes of conditions and, very often, results have to be worked out from these curves, and it may be that further curves are then plotted. In measuring the quantities, certain possibilities of error are always present.
