De student heeft goed opgemerkt dat de juistheid van het percentage toeneemt wanneer we de resultaten voor een langere periode bekijken. De schommelingen zullen afnemen. Er is echter geen conclusie geschreven of mogelijke redenen gegeven waarom het wijzigen van deze parameter zou leiden tot een juister resultaat.
