Noise in measurements

Noise in measurements refers to random, unwanted variations or fluctuations that occur when collecting data. These variations can be caused by equipment imperfections, environmental factors, or external interference, making the measurements less precise. Essentially, noise obscures the true value you are trying to measure, creating a discrepancy between the actual measurement and the recorded one. While some noise is inevitable, understanding and minimizing it helps improve the accuracy and reliability of data, ensuring better decision-making based on those measurements.
