After recording the data for five repeated trials you should calculate the average of five values and report that average in your lab report

The statement given is true.

Explanation:

When we conduct an experiment we have to record the outcomes and maintain a log so that we can know number for later purposes, where the experiment is going and what conclusions we can expect.

To get the final answer or number the five outcomes that have been recorded here have to be averaged to get one value, this value would show  where the outcome’s value will lie.
