Suppose we have made 3 measurements of the volume occupied by a gas and 20 measurements of its pressure. Which of the following statements is considered incorrect?(A). Of the 3 volume values measured, we can safely discard the one that is furthest from the mean. It is not advisable to discard pressure values(B). There is no single criterion that we must follow in order to discard values. Therefore, it could be the case that each experimenter rejects a different number of data(C). It would be good practice for the number of discarded values to be less than 5%(D). The so-called 4δ criterion advises discarding measurements that fall outside an interval with a center at the mean and a width 8 times the mean deviation
