The most reasonable next step would be to check the calibration of the thermometer to ensure that it is giving accurate readings. This step is critical because if the thermometer is not calibrated correctly, it could consistently give inaccurate temperature readings, leading to results that are systematically lower than expected.
A team of scientists is conducting tests to measure the boiling point of a liquid using a thermometer in the liquid. The team is then recording the temperature where the liquid changes from a liquid to a gas rapidly. After 100 trials, the results are 5 degrees below the expected results. Which next step is most reasonable?
