Question

Information can be evaluated using which of the following characteristics?
A. timeliness
B. repeatability
C. quality
D. All of the above.
E. A & C above.

I chose D because it seems that one would want all of those characteristics for a good piece of info. I'm not 100 % sure about repeatability, though.

Answer 1

Scientific information from experiments needs to be repeatable. If three scientists do the same experiment, but find different answers, the research of all of them is questionable.

I agree that D is the best answer.

Answer 2

Thank you! I was wondering if it was a trick question!

Answer 3

You're welcome.

Another example occurred to me. If, in an election year, one poll shows Candidate A ahead and another poll shows Candidate B ahead, neither poll is reliable because they aren't repeatable.

Answer 4

Ah yes that does make sense. Thank you!
