Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Equivalence, in reliability assessment, primarily concerns the degree to which two or more independent observers or coders agree about scoring on an instrument. If there is a high level of agreement, then the assumption is that measurement errors have been minimized. The degree of error can be assessed through interrater or interobserver reliability procedures, which involve having two or more observers or coders make independent observations.
