Conclusion Questions: 1. The difference between precision and accuracy are that precision is the exactness of something only a few amount of time and accuracy is when you hit a target multiple times but it isnt exact. 2. Both because for companies to be successful they have to be accurate on their information and precise on their experiments for their product to work. 3. Instruments are calibrated by taking measurements with them, recording the data and checking its accuracy with percentage error.

Step 5 Questions: 1. Grab the pipette bulb and soak up 1ml, after youve done this weigh the water 2. The results match what I expected because our measurements were the same, meaning that they were calibrated. 3. Put the water on the scale and if the weighed water isnt the same as 1 ml it isnt calibrated. 4. An acceptable error for pipeting would be when your pushing the water onto the scale and some of the water stays in the pipet, making you get wrong measurements
