What is the percent difference between your value and this accepted value? (2) How do the sample Class Results compare to this accepted value? (3) Based on your answers to questions (1) and (2), do you think that there is a source of systematic error in this experiment? Explain your reasoning. (4) Provide at least one specific example of an experimental cause of systematic error(s) in this experiment. (5) Can you suggest a way of improving the experiment so that this source of error can be minimized?
