Standard reduction potentials are listed for reactions under standard conditions. Standard conditions are 1 M concentrations of ions, I atm (or I bar) partial pressures for gases, and a temperature of 298 K: In Part I, you were asked to compare your measured cell potential to a calculated standard cell potential. The cell potential you measured was for a galvanic cell you prepared using 0.10 M solutions of Pb2 and Cu, not 1.0 M solutions.
