1
Q
what is a pilot study used for
A
helping plan procedures, assess validity and check techniques
2
Q
what does the use of a pilot study allow
A
evaluation and modification of experimental design
it also allows the investigator to establish the number of repeat experiments required to give a representative value for each independent datum point
3
Q
what can the use of a pilot study ensure is obtained
A
an appropriate range of values for the independent variable
