10 174
11 197
In one or two sentences, explain what the pattern is shown in these data in 2 to 4 sentences explain to additionally steps, researchers, should take to extend the experiment and give more confidence to the potential pattern
1 answer
The pattern shown in the data is an increasing trend between the number of carbon atoms and the boiling point of hydrocarbons. To extend the experiment and provide more confidence to this potential pattern, researchers can collect more data points by testing hydrocarbons with varying numbers of carbon atoms between the given range. Additionally, repeating the experiment multiple times and calculating averages can help to reduce any potential errors or inconsistencies in the results.
