Question

while studying bacterial cells, scientists measure the lengths of the cells in one colony. the chart shows their data. the scientists notice that one measurement stands out. how should the scientists best deal with this measurement? accept it as true and use 85 micrometers in the data when they find the average length accept it as true but say that it is the only cell that has ever been that long consider that there was an error during measuring and collect further data consider that it is possible but very unlikely for these bacterial cells to be so long

Explanation:

In scientific data collection, an out - lying value like 85 micrometers (when most values are around 4 - 6 micrometers) is likely due to an error. Scientists should not immediately accept it as a valid data point. Instead, they should consider that a measurement error occurred and collect more data to verify.

Answer:

consider that there was an error during measuring and collect further data
