Answer:

This means that the volume of the liquid the pipet can deliver is 10 mL with a tolerance of 0.02 mL. The tolerance is based on whether the actual volume is within 0.02 mL of 10 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

10 mL - 0.02 mL = 9.98 mL

10 mL - 0.02 mL = 10.02 mL

The volume of the liquid is between 9.98 and 10.02 mL.
