Detailed explanation-1: -Replication is one of the key ways scientists build confidence in the scientific merit of results. When the result from one study is found to be consistent by another study, it is more likely to represent a reliable claim to new knowledge.
Detailed explanation-2: -Repetition is when a scientist commits an error in an experiment the first time and must repeat it; replication is when a scientist repeats an experiment to make sure it is valid. Experiments are often repeated many times by the same or different scientists.
Detailed explanation-3: -Repetition and replication are important methods for validating scientific results. Which best describes why? Repeating and replicating investigations can show if scientists make errors. Repeating and replicating investigations allows the public to decide if the results are valid.
