It increases confidence because the more times you conduct the same experiment over and over should either prove your hypothesis right and wrong and eliminate any random occurrences that might affect your results.

Increasing the number of trials reduces the impact of any one imprecise measurement. Using an average value for data points provides a better representation of the true value.
