The Vignette of the Week: Types of Reliability

On Monday, you remind students of the midterm exam on Tuesday. Students complete the selected-response midterm but later in the afternoon, a masked thief , who was not social distancing, (1) snatched your backpack containing the students' test papers, (2) the masked thief jumped into a waiting Uber, and (3) escaped to a neighboring city. The thief was very busy.

The next day, Wednesday, you describe to your students how their exams were stolen by a masked person taking an Uber. You ask them to retake the midterm exam. Because there have been no intervening events of significance, such as more instruction from you on the topics covered by the examination, you would expect your students' Wednesday examination scores to be fairly similar to their Tuesday examination scores.

Thisselected responsescenario would be an example of what type of reliability:

A.parallel-forms reliability

B.alternate-form reliability

C.internal consistency reliability

D.stability reliability

Explain how would you handle this. How do you know your thoughts or answer choice is correct?
