Question: 1 / 400

What question does validity answer in research methodology?

Is the sample size large enough?

Can results be replicated in different settings?

Is what is believed to be measured actually being measured?

Validity is the extent to which a test or experiment accurately measures what it set out to measure. Option A, sample size, is related to reliability rather than validity. Option B, replication, is important for generalizability but not specifically related to validity. Option D, level of detail in observations, is relevant to the quality of data but not necessarily their alignment with the research question. So, C is the most appropriate answer as it directly addresses the main purpose of validity to ensure that what is being measured is actually what the researcher intends to measure.
