==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''systematic error''' is when the [[results]] wrong by the same amount each time.
===About Systematic Errors===
: A '''systematic error''' can be caused by:
:*The incorrect use of a [[Measuring Instrument|measuring instrument]].
:*A [[Measuring Instrument|measuring instrument]] not being [[calibrate]]d properly, this is known as a [[Zero Error|zero error]].
: A '''systematic error''' can be found when plotting the [[Scatter Graph|scatter graph]] for an [[experiment]] where it is known the two [[variable]]s should be [[Directly Proportional|directly proportional]] but they appear to only be [[proportional]] have a [[y-intercept]] that is not zero.
