In this article we illustrate some basic features of error bars and explain how they can help communicate data and assist correct interpretation. Error bars may show confidence intervals, standard errors, standard deviations, or other quantities. Different types of error bars give quite different information, and so figure legends must make clear what error bars represent. We suggest eight simple rules to assist with effective use and interpretation of error bars. What are error bars for? Journals that publish science—knowledge gained through repeated observation or experiment—don't just present new conclusions, they also present evidence so readers can verify that the authors' reasoning is correct.

Though no one of these measurements are likely to be more precise than any other, this group of values, it is hoped, will cluster about the true https://www.ncsu.edu/labwrite/res/gt/gt-stat-home.html value you are trying to measure. This distribution of data values is often represented by showing a single data point, representing the mean value of the data, and error bars to represent the overall distribution of the data. Let's take, for example, the impact energy absorbed by a metal at various temperatures. In this case, the temperature of the metal is the independent variable error bars being manipulated by the researcher and the amount of energy absorbed is the dependent variable being recorded. Because there is not perfect precision in recording this absorbed energy, five different metal bars are tested at each temperature level. The resulting data (and graph) might look like this: For clarity, the data for each level of the independent variable (temperature) has been plotted on the scatter standard deviation error plot in a different color and symbol. Notice the range of energy values recorded at each of the temperatures. At -195 degrees, the energy values (shown in blue diamonds) all hover around 0 joules. On the other hand, at both 0 and 20 degrees, the values range quite a bit. In fact, there are a number of measurements at 0 degrees (shown in purple squares) that are very close to measurements taken at 20 degrees (shown in light blue triangles). These ranges in values represent the uncertainty in our measurement. Can we say there is any difference in energy level at 0 and 20 degrees? One way to do this is to use the descriptive statistic, mean. The mean, or average, of a group of values describes a middle point, or central tendency, about which data points vary. Without going into detail, the mean is a way of summarizing a group of data and stating a best guess at what the true value of the dependent variable value is for that independent variable level. In this example, it would be a best guess at what the true energy level was f
