20. Which of the following statements concerning systematic errors and random errors is INCORRECT?
(A) Random errors can be reduced by increasing the number of replicate measurements.
(B) Systematic errors cause measurement results to be consistently biased in one direction.
(C) Systematic errors can be detected and corrected by comparing with an reliable analytical technique.
(D) Carbonate formation in standardized NaOH solutions affects only the equilibrium speciation of basic species and therefore does not result in a true systematic error in acid-base titrations.
(E) The balance offset is a systematic error, and taring is the calibration step used to remove it.
