Borek said:Have you ever measured volume using these methods? Or have you at least seen them used? Neglecting accuracy for a moment - which will be the most convenient? Why? Which will be the least convenient? Why?
And I am not asking about some theoretical stuff, but about your gut feelings.

Is the pipette even graduated at all? Is the pipette calibrated to contain a particular volume? (ie. is it a volumetric pipette?) Are the buret's graduations in 0.1 mL increments?
"Measuring method's accuracy" refers to how close the results obtained from a measurement are to the true or expected value. It is a measure of the precision and reliability of a particular method of measurement.
The accuracy of a measuring method can be determined by comparing the results obtained from the method to a known or expected value. This can be done through repeated measurements and statistical analysis.
There are several factors that can affect the accuracy of a measuring method, including human error, equipment limitations, environmental conditions, and the inherent variability of the object being measured.
The accuracy of a measuring method is typically expressed as a percentage or a margin of error. For example, a measuring method with an accuracy of 95% means that the results obtained from the method are within 5% of the true value.
The accuracy of a measuring method can be improved by using more precise equipment, reducing human error through proper training and standardization, and taking multiple measurements to reduce the impact of variability. Regular calibration and maintenance of equipment can also help improve accuracy.
