Shawn,Melissa, Pierre, and Kathy are each trying to make a solution that requires 40 mL of stock to be added. Pierre uses a 25 mL, a 10 mL and a 5 mL pipette; Raphael uses a 5 mL pipette 8 times; Rebecca uses a 50 mL burette (hint: You have two measurements with a burette); and Clive uses a 25 mL graduated cylinder. Assuming the only error introduced was by the variance in the glassware, determine the cumulative error for each person. Show all calculations and use the propagation of error equations.
