2. (12 points) in your lab, you have a special measuring tool that can measure the width of tiny
objects. You can even measure the width of a human hair. The device claims to have an accuracy up to 10 micrometers, or microns.

A. If you are measuring a hair that you know has a width of 65 microns, what possible range of measurements could the device give you?

you?
