You may be thinking of reliability, as distinct from validity in the field of things like psychological measures. If the same value can be obtained repeatedly, within reasonable margins of error, and within other applicable conditions, then the measure can be considered reliable. That does not mean that the thing measured represents what it is hypothesized to measure. That would be the measure's validity.
What else can I help you with?
What term deals with the repeatability of a measurent?
Precision
What term deals with exactness of a measurement?
The term is precision.
How do you calculate repeatability?
Repeatability is defined as the measurement variability found when the same item is measured repeatedly with a specific gauge by the same operator. To calculate repeatability, follow these guidelines and repeat an experiment multiple times. The repeatability is the standard deviation of repeat measurements by the same operator.
What term refers to measuring exactly what one intends to measure?
repeatability
What is the math that deals with measurement of earth?
The scientific term that refers to the measurement and representation of the Earth actually has two different names. These terms are geodesy and geodetics.
Why are several trials taken for each measurement in an experiment?
A good way to reduce error or increase measurement accuracy is to take several measurements and compute their average. In other words, you achieve accuracy through averaging. (This also validates the repeatability of the measurement.)
What math deals with the measurement of the earth?
Geometry
What is the purpose of measurement in science?
The purpose of measurement in science is to quantify and describe physical quantities and properties. It allows for comparison, accuracy, and repeatability of observations and experiments. Measurements provide a common language for scientists to communicate their findings and draw conclusions based on data.
What is Measurement and levels of measurement?
Measurement always deals with a distance of a line or a distance between to objects, distance between 2 points, and so on.
What are the 4 properties of the thermometer?
The four properties of a thermometer are accuracy (how close the measurement is to the true value), precision (repeatability of measurements), response time (how quickly it provides a reading), and range (the temperatures it can measure).
What is accuracy and precision and the difference between them?
Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to the true value, while precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements. In other words, accuracy is related to correctness, while precision is related to repeatability. A measurement can be precise but not accurate if the values are consistently off by a certain amount, and it can be accurate but not precise if the values vary widely with each measurement.
Type of observation that deals with a number?
An observation that deals with a number or amount is called a quantitative observation. An observation that deals with descriptions is called a qualitative observation.
