b. Do these results have high or low precision? Explain.


c. List two sources of equipment error and 2 sources of human error that could have
contributed to these results.


Conversion Factors Temperature Conversions
1 ft = 30.5 cm C = (F - 32) * 5/9
1 in = 2.54 cm F = (C * 9/5) + 32
1 ft = 12.0 in
1 yd = 0.914 m
1 lb = 2.20 kg
1 oz = 28.4 g
1 km = 0.620 mi
1 lb = 16 oz
1 pt = 0.470 L
1 mi = 5280 ft
1 L = 1.06 qt
1 gal = 4 qt
1 qt = 2 pt
