View Full Version : Random Uncertainties - Can anyone explain "Random Uncertainties"? Jim Wynne 13th September 2005, 11:19 AM Can anyone explain "Random Uncertainties" Cpine Have a look here (scroll down to 5.3) Uncertainties and Errors (http://www.herts.ac.uk/natsci/Physics/handbook/hb5.htm) Rob Nix 13th September 2005, 11:54 AM Isn't random uncertainty a pleonasm (redundant)? since anything but random is somewhat certain (in the "predictable" sense). Call it simply, uncertainty. Random is assumed. :rolleyes: (I'm just playing around) Craig H. 13th September 2005, 12:03 PM Isn't random uncertainty a pleonasm (redundant)? since anything but random is somewhat certain (in the "predictable" sense). Call it simply, uncertainty. Random is assumed. :rolleyes: (I'm just playing around) Yes, but what if I am uncertain if I blundered, or I blunder randomly?

Random is assumed. :rolleyes: (I'm just playing around) You shouldn't be having pleonasms here in front of everyone:nono:, unless they're random, of course, but I'm uncertain. |
