Kash Maldonado · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

Both validity and reliability are terms that are used when we are doing research.

In research, the term validity refers to the fact that your study/instrument is actually measuring what it claims to measure, in other word, if it's valid then it's solid.

On the other hand, reliability refers to the degree to which a method produces the same results. In other words, it can be done by other researchers under similar circumstances and the results will be similar time after time.

We can see that in the original statement, the definitions are not right. Therefore the statement is False.
