If a graduated cylinder wasn't correctly calibrated, how would it affect the results of a measurement? How would it affect the results of a calculation?
Answered by drwls
An incorrectly calibrated graduated cylinder would lead to systematic error in the measurement of volume, and anything that depends upon that volume (such as density).

Systematic errors are different from random errors, and can be very hard to estimate.
