It may depend on what test you are referring to. For example, taking several readings may reduce biassing, or to show that the test can be repeated and produce the same outcome.

Generally, taking multiple readings is recommended to simply sustain your data and final conclusion(s).

How do you find the gcf and LCM of numbers with variables and-exponents?

For the greatest common factor, you check which variables appear in each of the expressions. In the case of exponents, you take the lowest exponent for each variable. For the least common multiple, you take each variable, whether it appears in all of the expressions involved, or only in some of them. In the case of the exponents, you take the greatest exponent for each variable. If there are numeric coefficients (numbers as products), you take either the gcf or the lcm of those in the usual way.


How do you calculate the uncertainty of data?

When involving in scientific experiments, it is very important to make measurement. In each and every measurement we take, say a length, time, angle etc. we have to use a particular instrument. As every instrument has a least count (also known as the minimal reading), there will be an uncertainty left. As an example, consider a measurement using a vernier caliper as at 10.00 cm, there will be an error of 0.01cm. If we do the same measurement by a meter ruler, there'll be an error of 0.1 cm, or 1 mm. Therefore the uncertainty of a particular measurement is dependent on the instrument it has been taken. As a convention we take the 1/2 of the least count for analog instruments and the least count for digital instruments as its uncertainty.
