For the given measurement, briefly describe any likely sources of random error and any likely sources of systematic error.You use your wrist watch to time your friends running 200 meters.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers may vary. Possible answer
Sources of random error: 
Inaccurate reading of your wrist watch
Systematic error: 
If you wrist watch is running too fast or too slow this could introduce systematic error, tending to make all the measurements too high or too low.
