Question

​For some strange reason, a music teacher gives students a vocabulary test before deciding what the right musical instrument is for each student. The vocabulary test gives consistent results, but the students are rarely happy with the instrument they play. The problem is that the vocabulary test ____.

Answer 1

is reliable but not valid

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the test will show the vocabulary of a student every time a student takes the test. This means that the test is reliable i.e., the results are repeatable.

However the test will in no way indicate the instrument that they are suited for. This means the test is not a valid test in order to know what instrument is best suited to the student.

Hence, the test is reliable but not valid.
