Answer: unreliability

Explanation: Some of the problems that determine the quality of an experiment are reliability and validity.  

Reliability considers the consistency of the experiment. In the example above,  the result of the second sample is inconsistent with the result of the first sample, making Watt's research unreliable. That is, it does not reflect the ratings of a larger population. This problem can be solved by increasing the sample size, such that the average ratings are more reflective of a wider audience.

Validity considers the accuracy of the experiment. A lack of reliability of an experiment will likely make the result invalid as well, but this is not always the case.

babymother [125]
<span>Emerson describes self reliance as a manlike quality because he claims that to be reliant or even envious of other people is a waste of time and decreases one's on individualism in this world.

What is the Buddhist term for the highest state of mind?
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

nirvana

Explanation:

Buddhism refers to a religion of the Indian people and it is considered to be a way of life through committed meditations. Buddhism began in India then spread east into Tibet, China and then northeast and south through pilgrims.

Generally, Buddhism is focused on the following philosophies;

  • Samsara: beliefs on the cycle of death and rebirth.
  • Dharma: beliefs on duties or ethics.
  • Karma: beliefs that there are consequences for every action or intents.
  • Moksha: beliefs on salvation or the liberation from death and rebirth cycle.
  • Artha: beliefs on being prosperous.
  • Kama: beliefs on desires and passion as an aim of humanity.

Buddhism is a religion that teaches people about the spiritual principles of cause and effects such that an individual's action or intent in the previous life influences their life in the future (rebirth). This is explicitly explained by the Karma theory of Buddhism, it states that the circumstances an individual is experiencing in his or her (present) life is as a result of their actions in the previous life.

Nirvana is the Buddhist term for the highest state of mind that a human being is capable of attaining. Thus, it is a profound state of well-being in which the mind is awakened, devoid of any defilement, entirely at peace, and is free from bondage or suffering.
