The principal advantage of graphical error estimation over analytical methods is that it _______.

improves least count

eliminates calculations

removes systematic errors

accounts for experimental scatter visually

The least count of a vernier caliper increases when _______.

number of vernier divisions decreases

main scale length increases

jaws are tightened

zero error exists
