In presenting data that results from an experiment, a group of students show that most of their measurements fall on a straight diagonal line on their graph. However, two of their data points are "outliers" and fall far to one side of the expected relationship. What should they do?
A) Do not show these points because clearly something went wrong in the experiment.
B) Show all results obtained and then try to explore the reason(s) for these outliers.
C) Average several trials, rule out the improbable results, and then do not show them in the final work.
D) Change the details of the experiment until they can obtain the expected results.
Answer: B) Show all results obtained and then try to explore the reason(s) for these outliers.
