Answer 1

Answer:

B. The test adequately samples what was covered in the course          

Explanation:

For a test to have good content validity, it means that the test adequately samples what was covered in the course. Content validity has to do with the extent to which the items on a test are fairly representative of the entire domain the test seeks to measure, the extent to which it measures what it is supposed to measure.

Answer 2

Answer: B. The test adequately samples what was covered in the course.

Explanation: Content validity refers to the measure of how well a study or test incorporates all aspects or facets of a particular course. Content validity examines all the various dimensions, subtopics or subfield of a certain topic or field.

For instance, a course which only examines quantitative data and exempts qualitative data type while trying to examine types of data as a course will be considered as lacking content validity as it fails to incorporate all aspect of the course.
