==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''zero error''' is a type of [[Systematic Error|systematic error]], caused by a [[Measuring Instrument|measuring instrument]] not being [[calibrate]]d.
===About Zero Errors===
: A '''zero error''' may 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.
: A '''zero error''' can be corrected by [[calibrate|calibrating]] the [[Measuring Instrument|measuring instruments]] before an [[experiment]].
