Sampling error is not a type of measurement error because it is related to the selection of participants or data points for a study, rather than the measurement process itself.

Systematic error is also referred to as bias because it consistently affects the measurement results in a particular direction.

Variations in the measurement instrument are a source of systematic error, not random error.

Instrumental error is caused by defects or malfunctions in the measurement instrument itself.

Increasing the sample size does not directly reduce measurement error. It is a strategy to reduce sampling error, which is different from measurement error.

Measurement error can lead to both overestimation and underestimation of the true value, depending on the direction and magnitude of the error.

Measurement error does not increase validity. Instead, it can lead to reduced validity, as the measurement results may not accurately represent the true construct being measured.

Measurement error can hinder the ability to detect true differences between groups, make accurate predictions, and draw valid conclusions from the data.

The Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) is a statistical method used to estimate the amount of random error in a measurement.

Ignoring measurement error and assuming it is negligible is not a valid strategy for dealing with it. Measurement error should be acknowledged and addressed appropriately.

Measurement error cannot be completely eliminated, as it is an inherent part of the measurement process. However, it can be minimized and controlled through various strategies.

Random error is not a type of systematic error. It is a type of measurement error that is unpredictable and varies from one measurement to another.

Defects in the measurement instrument are a source of systematic error, not random error.

Increased student motivation is not a consequence of measurement error in educational assessment. Measurement error can lead to inaccurate grading, misinterpretation of student performance, and unfair comparisons between students.

Ignoring measurement error and assuming it is negligible is not a valid strategy for minimizing it. Measurement error should be acknowledged and addressed appropriately.
