How many batches of peas had the girl already added to the water in order to give the situation shown in Fig. 2. 15? Use the git’s results to plot a graph of Water-level reading against Number of grains of peas added. Calculate and record the gradient. m. of your st: bY Use your result in nd) above to obtain a value for the mean.volume of one batch (of ight line graph, fifty grains) of peas, Read-off the intercept of your graph on the Water-level Reading axis. and state what this intercept signifies. Specify which one of the gir!’s readings suggests that she may have mis-read the water level. State two possible sources of error arising from the method which the girl used, Suggest one way in which the girl's method could have been improved and briefly explain your suggestion.
