Standard Error of the Mean

2 / 14

Which of the following statements is TRUE about test-retest reliability?
(Check ALL that apply)

To compute it you need to assess 2 different groups of candidates at 2 different times using the same test

The end result is expressed as a correlation coefficient

It is less important than internal consistency reliability

The test-retest reliability value is used in the calculation of a scale's standard error of measurement

It requires more resources than internal consistency reliability

To compute it you need to assess 1 group of candidates at 2 different times using the same test

68% confident

99% confident

96% confident

100% confident

50% confident
