My Estimate
Maximum/Minimum

1. 714000/646000 ohms Blue, Grey, Yellow, Gold
2. 10.5/9.5 ohms Brown, Black, Black, Gold
   
3. 10100/9900 ohms Brown, Black, Black, Red, Gold
   
4. 1575/1425 ohms Brown, Green, Red, Gold
5. 465000/313500 ohms Orange, Orange, Yellow, Gold
6. 1050/950 ohms Brown, Black, Red, Gold
   

Actual Reading

1. 691000 ohms
2. 10.5 ohms
3. 9960 ohms
4. 1488 ohms
5. 329000 ohms
6. 994 ohms

I calculated the resistance of the resistors, I then measured their resistance with my multimeter to confirm my calculations. All of the actual readings were within the tolerances.

R1= 1500 ohms R2= 1000 ohms
In seires I calculated 2500 ohms by adding 1500+1000 together, and when measured it was 2500 ohms.
In parallel I calculated 600 ohms by using the formula 1/RT= 1/R1+1/R2.

When measure it was 600 ohms.

I have demonstrated that parallel circuits have less resistance that seires circuits.
