Two groups complete an experiment requiring the mass measurement to be repeated three times in the experiment. Group I selects a single member of the group to measure the mass. Group II allows any person of the group to measure the mass once, so they will be done more quickly. At the end of the experiment, the results for group I are closer to the actual than the results of group II. Explain why this might be.

Group 1 was more careful in choosing the person, whereas Group 2 might have been more careless.
