Reliability

For data to be considered reliable, repeats must be carried out.

Repeating a scientific investigation makes it more reliable.

When analysing a set of results or graph, an anomalous result can be identified as one that does not follow the trend.

  • The use of inappropriate measuring equipment.

It is important to address anomalous results as they can make a conclusion unreliable.
