Question

Explanation:

Identify general experimental assumptions

Justify why they are classified as assumptions

Answer:

No.	Assumption	Why is it an assumption?
2	The measuring instruments are perfectly calibrated and accurate.	The values are recorded directly without verifying the calibration state or accounting for systematic instrument errors.
3	The sample material used is completely homogeneous and uniform.	It is taken for granted that different parts of the sample behave identically, ignoring localized variations.
