Introduce error vs. cause error [meaning of introduce]

I cannot understand the meaning of "introduce error" used in this context:

"However, when the variation of cv or cp over a given temperature interval is slight, little error is normally introduced by taking the specific heat required by Eq. 3.50 or 3.51 as the arithmetic average of the specific heat values at the two end temperatures"

What is the difference between "introduce error" and "cause error" depending on the used context?

What do you think about "leads to error" instead of "introduce error" in the original sentence?

Thank you.

" ... little error is normally introduced by taking the specific heat required ... " This is common wording and I understand it.

" ... little error is normally led by taking the specific heat required ... " I don't understand what this means. The verb 'led' makes no sense here..

It means that if you use the arithmetical average in the formula, the result will be nearly the
