Answer:

Systematic errors are those that always go in the same direction, such as being 50 g, 1%, or 99 mm too big or tiny.

Random mistakes, on the other hand, generate various values in random directions.

You weigh yourself on a scale, for instance, and the results are 148 pounds, 153 pounds, and 132 pounds.
