How can you make experiment results more reliable?

Answer 1

There are several ways to make an experiment more valid. For example, one should always make any experiment repeatable, and they should conduct several trials before publishing results or coming to conclusions.

Answer 2

- Repeating the experiments in your laboratory/office

- Repeating the experiments in another laboratory by another specialist

- Comparing the results with anterior published data to identify some differences

- Comparing the results with the data expected from a preexisted theory

- Statistical analysis of the data

and use also the common sense !

Answer 3

We only know that the results of an experiment are valid when other scientists are able to obtain the same (or equivalent) results. So, if the experiment is interesting, and it is carefully conducted and written up and published, other scientists will be interested in confirming your results.

Answer 4

If you perform an experiment multiple times, and get the same (or similar) results, then the confidence increases that the results are valid. Accurate recording is important, so that conditions which produces the result can be repeated, and others can also reproduce the experiment and get the same result.

Answer 5

There are several methods:

• try to ensure that any factor that can affect the outcome is controlled, and if that is not possible, record its values so that the factor can be included in the analysis.
• try to minimise measurement errors by calibrating all measuring devices before the experiment and check afterwards.
• try to eliminate researcher bias by making the experiment double-blind.
• ensure that you have a competent person to conduct the experiment and to analyse the results.
• repeat the experiment and take the average result.

Answer 6

Repeat the experiment several times and compare the data to make sure it's generally the same data every time the experiment is repeated.

Answer 7

repeat the experiment at least three times to gain valid results :)

Answer 8

The results of an experiment are valid when they can be repeated by other scientists doing the same experiment.
