Mindy wants to find out the average distance that each of her six friends can
throw a ball. She asks six friends of similar
sizes and ages to throw a ball as far as
possible from the same starting point.
Mindy notices that one friend throws the
ball much farther than the other five do.
She wants her results to be accurate. What
should Mindy do?
F Repeat the experiment for the person
with the unusual result.
G Repeat the experiment using a
different friend as a replacement.
H Repeat the experiment and ignore the
results of the first experiment.
I Repeat the experiment two more
times, and find averages for each of
the six throwers.
