To determine which student most likely had an error in their results, we should analyze the times recorded by each student.
Given the data:
- Ziva: 0.52, 0.51, 0.51
- Jade: 0.51, 0.52, 0.52
- Eduardo: 0.50, 0.50, 0.50
- Owen: 0.50, 0.37, 0.51
The times recorded by Ziva, Jade, and Eduardo are relatively close to each other, hovering around 0.50 seconds. However, Owen recorded a significantly lower time of 0.37 seconds for one of the drops, which is out of line with the other students' results.
Therefore, it is most likely that **Owen** had an error in the results.
