Solution

The step that will increase the accuracy and validity of Cathy’s results is to conduct multiple trials and have another scientist repeat the experiment. This is because repeating the experiment multiple times helps to reduce the impact of random errors and increases the reliability of the results. Having another scientist repeat the experiment also helps to ensure that the results are not due to chance or bias.
