Experimental Design Principles

Question 1 • FL-2003010-M/J Physical Science

Renald completed only one trial of his experiment. What effect will this most likely have?

Answer
A
The results are more likely to have errors.
B
The results are more likely to be precise.
C
The experiment will be harder to replicate.
D
The experiment will be easier to replicate.

Explanation

With only one trial, Renald has no repeated results to compare, so an unusual outcome or measurement error is more likely to affect his conclusion. Repeating trials helps identify inconsistent results and makes findings more reliable. Therefore, the results are more likely to have errors.
