While it is impossible to eliminate random error completely, several strategies can help minimize its impact:
Increase Sample Size: Larger sample sizes tend to reduce the influence of random error, making the results more reliable. Standardize Procedures: Implementing standardized measurement procedures and protocols can help minimize random error from measurement tools. Randomization: In experimental studies, randomizing subjects into different groups can help balance out random errors across groups. Blinding: Blinding participants and researchers to the study conditions can reduce biases that contribute to random error.
