random error
Definition
Discrepancy or uncontrolled variation between an observed (measured) value and the value predicted by a specification, standard, or model. Where numbers are sufficiently large (as in repeated measurements or mass production), random errors tend to cancel each other out, and their sum approaches zero. Also called chance error or statistical error.
