The error in our analysis most likely arises from systematic error because all of our calculations were done with a computer program and all of our data was the average of 100 data points. Because we were very precise with our measurements and analysis, systematic error seems to be the source of error. This could arise from the resistors not being exactly what the Noise Fundaments express they are and there could be extra noise from one of the detectors. Because we had such small error, I believe that that error can not be lowered because we were so precise and the error is so low. Unfortunately, we ourselves were not accurate scientists and did not perform any error trials. We have no error recorded for any of our data other than $1 \Omega$ values in the Johnson Noise experiment. We wish we had more time in order to go back, take error measurements, and calculate the true error in our data. This is why our graphs for both Johnson Noise and Shot Noise lack error bars.
