B) Equipment
C) Interpretation
D) User

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interpretation error occurs when signals transmitted from the equipment can result in misinterpretation,such as low saturation levels that occur when the equipment is not getting an accurate reading.User errors are caused by the person using the equipment and can include variations by the same user,different users,or changes in supplies used to operate the equipment.Environmental error includes things such as temperature,barometric pressure,or static electricity that might affect how well the equipment works or how the subject responds.Equipment error may be related to calibration or the stability of the equipment.
