Question

Which of the following best defines reliability?

Because reliable conclusions are trustworthy and applicable.


Because reliable conclusions are more interesting than unreliable conclusions.


Reliable conclusions are not important in scientific endeavor.

Answer 1

Answer: Because reliable conclusions are trustworthy and applicable.

Explanation: When you have a "conclusion" you do not have really nothing to work, if that conclusion does not have any backing theory that sustains it, the conclusion is no really aplicable.

This means that the conclusion must be reliable, because if not, is not really aplicable, so the correct option will be the first one.

"Because reliable conclusions are trustworthy and applicable."

Answer 2

Because reliable conclusions are trustworthy and applicable.

Reliable is officially defined as being "able to be trusted to do or provide what is needed." and has been clearly shown in context of the first statement. Being interesting is not always a quality of something with reliability as what the second statement suggests. Also, reliable conclusions are always a part in scientific endeavor.
