| 16 | Accuracy standards for syringes specify tolerances as a percentage of nominal volume, so absolute error is smaller on a smaller syringe. Measuring 5 units in a 100-unit barrel is measuring at 5% of full scale, where both the tolerance and the reading error are large relative to the quantity. | 16 | Accuracy standards for syringes specify tolerances as a percentage of nominal volume, so absolute error is smaller on a smaller syringe.
