Methodology

This document outlines a methodology to test the accuracy and precision of pipet operators using an analytical balance. It involves pipetting various volumes of distilled water, recording the weights, repeating several times, and computing average weights and standard deviations. Accuracy is tested by pipetting different volumes and computing averages and deviations. Precision is tested by having multiple students pipette the same volumes and computing averages, percent errors, and standard deviations to determine variability between operators.
