Answer:

The 3 band resistor does not specify the tolerance.

Ususally this means the tolerance is 20%, which is not great.

Step-by-step explanation:

The last band is typically the tolerance band, i.e., the lower the tolerance the more accurate the value as indicated by the other bands. In case of a 3 band code, there is no tolerance specified and you have to assume the default of 20%.
