A student measures the mass of an irregular alloy sample as 54.20 g using an electronic balance. To determine its volume, the sample is submerged in a graduated cylinder, causing the water level to rise from 25.0 mL to 31.4 mL. Based on the rules of significant figures for experimental measurements, how should the calculated density of the alloy be reported?
