Responses

A. You measure the temperature of a room with two thermometers and they both say the room is below 0°C, but you know the room isn't cold.

B. You measure the temperature of a room with a thermometer multiple times and get the same result each time.

C. You measure the temperature of a room with two thermometers and get different results.

D. You measure the room temperature twice with two thermometers and get the same results each time.

Answer 1

A reliable but invalid test is one where the measurements are consistent but not accurate or true to the actual value being measured.

The best statement that describes this scenario is:

A. You measure the temperature of a room with two thermometers and they both say the room is below 0°C, but you know the room isn't cold.

In this case, the thermometers are providing reliable (consistent) results that are invalid (not true to the actual temperature of the room).
