The scientist could increase confidence in the results by doing more trials for the experiment. Preferably 3 or 4 if not more.

Correct answer would be by repeating the experiment several times

The scientist can increase the confidence of his result by conducting the repeated trials in order to make sure that the experiment can be replicated. The same result is expected for each time it is done.

The reliability is measured in terms of the percentage. When a scientist repeats an experiment with the different group of people and use the same chemical and get a similar result then that result is said to be reliable.
