measured in a measuring cylinder to ensure that the amount of detergent added remains consistent. Increasing the sample size will increase precision, minimising the impact of random errors. Moreover, an average of the data could potentially reduce the effect of random errors on the data. The graph can be used to detect random errors through the amount of scattering in the results. Improvements could occur, with numerous trials, therefore, conducting an average of trials to minimise the effect of…
