Question 8 • Physical Science Sem 1 (2003310) BCPS 2026-27

When an experiment is replicated, how should the results of the two experiments compare?

Answer
A
The results of the first experiment should be less accurate.
B
The results of the second experiment should be less accurate.
C
The results of the experiments should be similar.
D
The results of the experiments should be one hundred percent certain.

Explanation

Replication means repeating an experiment under the same conditions to see whether its findings are consistent. The results should be similar, though small differences can occur because of random variation or measurement error. Repeating an experiment does not make either experiment less accurate or guarantee complete certainty.
