Compare a result with evidence, not just an accepted number

OCR A AS Physics · Two ideas, one explanation

Data analysis produces a result and its uncertainty. Evaluation asks whether that result supports the proposed relationship and what limitations remain.

Result ± uncertainty → justified conclusion

Follow the reasoning

  1. Fit the appropriate relationship to the data.
  2. Assess scatter, anomalies and uncertainty.
  3. Compare the result with the prediction and state a qualified conclusion.
