Diego conducted an experiment to find out what kind of ball bounces the highest when dropped from a five-foot platform. He used a golf ball, a tennis ball, and a soccer ball. He dropped each ball from the balcony once. Diego recorded his observations after each drop. What can Diego do to best improve the reliability of his results? drop each ball from the platform three more times record his observations in more than one unit write at least two scientific questions after the experiment is complete share his results with other people who have done similar experiments

Gabriel Lam · Answer 1

Option D, share his results with other people who have done similar experiments

Explanation:

There are few ways by which the reliability of the result obtained from any of the experiment can be assured. These methods include -

a) Through literature review

b) Taking multiple observations to remove the randomness in the result. Since Diego has already taken several observations thus there is no need to take more samples.

c) Peer review - This is a crucial step for validating any finding. People who have already done such experiments in the past are the best peer for reviewing findings of new comer like Diego.

Hence, option D is correct
