Question

During an experiment, readings for blood pressure in a person’s body were found to be constant. However, when measured by a different blood pressure cuff, the readings differed by 15 points for each reading. This difference indicates that the results__(independent, reliable, valid) are __ (independent, reliable, valid) but not .

Answer 1

Independent ( because the reading relies on the different cuffs ) making this a reliable yet invalid experiment. It’s reliable because it consistently differed by 15 points each different cuff. Invalid because the readings were constant with the correct cuff, putting the incorrect cuff size can cause inaccurate readings
