The equipment used in most high school laboratories allows results to be determined that are within 10% of the accepted value. Do your calculations for the specific heat capacity of the warm water inn this assignment fall within this range? If not, explain why.
 The previous two questions were trying to find the experimental specific heat capacity of the warm water, I got 3.86J/g. Degrees celsius, and then 4.29J/g. Degree celsius for the average of the warm water.
I have no idea where to start with this question. Any help would be appreciated.

My results are just a little over 10%. My results fall between 3.77 and 4.61. The reasons that lead to inaccurate calculations could include energy loss to the surroundings or inaccurate temperature readings.
