1
Q
what does validity mean
A
variables are controlled so that any measured effect is likely to be due to the independent variable
2
Q
what does reliability mean
A
consistent values in repeats and independent replicates
3
Q
what does accuracy mean
A
data, or means of data sets, are close to the true value
4
Q
what does precision mean
A
measured values are close to each other
