Context: The passage below describes an experiment. Read the passage and then follow the instructions below.

Tanner used a dropper to put equal-sized drops of pure water, one at a time, onto a penny. The drops stayed together and formed a dome on the penny's surface. Tanner recorded the number of drops he could add before the water spilled over the edge of the penny. Then, he rinsed and dried the penny, and repeated the test using water mixed with hand soap. He repeated these trials on nine additional pennies. Tanner compared the average number of pure water drops to the average number of water drops mixed with hand soap that he could add to a penny before the water spilled over.
Figure: a dome of water on the surface of a penny.
