Reliable data is important. If the margin of error is too high or the significant difference between data of the control group and the variable group is very low, you may not be able to come to a definite conclusion supporting your theory. Questions to ask yourself about the reliability of the data you recorded (check all that your work meets): Did you calculate the margin of error if possible? Did you calculate the statistical significant difference of your data? Did you check the margin of error to see if it was to high? Did you check the statistical significant difference of your data to see if it was too low? If you left any box unchecked, you should review your reliable data calculations and revise if necessary.
