Temperature scales

At $0\,^{\circ}\text{C}$, the thermistor has a resistance of $3840\,\Omega$. When it is at $100\,^{\circ}\text{C}$, its resistance falls to $190\,\Omega$. If the thermistor is placed in water at one fixed temperature, the resistance is $2300\,\Omega$.

A resistance thermometer and a thermocouple thermometer are both used at the same time to measure the temperature of a water bath. Explain why, even though both thermometers have been correctly calibrated and are in equilibrium, they may give different temperatures.
