Why would a scientist use a graduated cylinder instead of beaker?

A Volumetric Pipette is the most accurate and used for titration calculations, if you include that as a type of pipette then it is FAR more accurate than a graduated cylinder. A beaker is very inaccurate so don't even go there.

Beakers are not considered to be measuring devices. Their inaccuracy can be as high as 10% for even a 250 mL beaker.
