Which of these data points is the most reliable?
point 1
point 2
point 3
point 4

Answer 1

I can’t view the image you attached. In general, the most reliable data point is the one with the smallest error bars (i.e., the shortest uncertainty bars). Identify which numbered point has the shortest error bars — that one is the most reliable. If you tell me which point that is (or reattach/describe the picture), I’ll confirm.
