Candidates must be able to process experimental results by:
- tabulating data using appropriate headings and units of measurement
- representing data as a scatter graph with suitable scales and labels
- sketching a line of best fit (straight or curved) to represent the trend observed in the
data
- calculating average (mean) values
- identifying and eliminating rogue points
- commenting on the reproducibility of results where measurements have been repeated
The uncertainty associated with a measurement can be indicated in the form: measurement ± uncertainty.
