Answer:
Drop each ball from the platform three more times
Explanation:
Reliability or precision means how much the measured values vary from each other when measured by performing the same experiment repeatedly.
When measuring values by observation in physical experiments of this nature, it is best to perform the experiment and measure the values at least three times. The more the better.
In such measurements there is always a margin of error, e.g how at exact time you start and stop the stop-watch. There may also be a but harder or softer side of ball (tennis ball strip) touching the ground. In order to minimize such and some other margin of errors, it is advisable to measure the values more than 3-4 times, and then take their mean. The value now obtained would be would reliable or precise.
Second and third options are incorrect because they will have no effect on improving the reliability.
In order for the fourth option to be correct, the other people need to do the same (not similar) experiment, with the same balls and same conditions/instruments. That would be equivalent to repeating the experiment 3-4 times, which is already covered by first option.
Depends on how major or minor the errors are. If the errors are due to lack of knowledge then it isn't a sign of progress but if less errors are being made and they are small ones progress may be shown.
The focus change is in the point of view; first, she thought that she did her first sale and was ready to do it, as nobody opened, she thought there was nobody at home. Then, she changed her point of view because she thought to return and that she wasn't a good salesperson, however, she knocked on the door again with a smile on her face.
