Question 15 • FL-2002040-M/J Comprehensive Science 1 A-CR

Henry and Alex both completed the same experiment and got similar results. Henry ran his experiment 5 times and took an average value, while Alex only ran his experiment once.Which statement best describes their experiments?

Answer
A
Both experiments involved replication and repetition.
B
Both experiments involved replication, but only one involved repetition.
C
Only one experiment involved replication, but both involved repetition.
D
Neither experiment involved replication nor repetition.

Explanation

Replication occurs when a different person carries out the same experiment, so Henry’s and Alex’s experiments replicate each other. Repetition means running the experiment multiple times; Henry repeated his experiment five times, but Alex ran it only once. Therefore, both experiments involved replication, but only Henry’s involved repetition.
