Question 137755 • LPISD Earth Systems A - CR

Which scientist likely has the most accurate data?

Answer
A
Shelly, whose data were copied onto several charts
B
Gavin, whose data were reproduced by other scientists
C
Preston, who repeated his experiment and got different data
D
Lilah, who recorded data from one trial and published her results

Explanation

Scientific results are more trustworthy when other scientists can repeat an experiment and get similar results. Gavin’s data were reproduced by other scientists, which supports their accuracy. Copying data onto several charts does not independently verify it, and Preston’s differing results suggest his data may be inconsistent.
