How to properly describe the validity of an experiment? (1 Viewer)

[EpaX]

Can you say an experiment is 'moderately valid' as it contains features of both a valid and invalid experiment, is it only acceptable to say it is either valid or invalid?

Also, can an experiment be valid but inaccurate?

say it's fairly valid then state improvements (ie how to change the invalid parts to make them valid)

 

[EpaX]

okay, but my other question still stands - can an experiment be valid but inaccurate?

 

[bangladesh]

yes it can be!

 

[EpaX]

could you give me an example of such an experiment please?

Doing all the steps correctly and having a good procedure, which is of an acceptable standard, but having faulty equipment.
