1 ans-community income using a white middle class sample-Systemic error- that occurs consistently in one direction,
2 ans-Severity of cancer at diagnosis in a community, using patients in a county hospital-Syetemic error
3 ans-Average body weight measured at work at noon-Random error-Error that is the difference between the measurement and true value of a variable that is without a pattern.
4 ans-Blood pressure taken with equipment that consistently measures the blood pressure low-Syetemic error
5ans-Scores on drug calculation tests taken in the morning in a classroom-Random.
