      CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]Reliability     Reliability is the consistency, accuracy, stability and trustworthiness of a measuring instrument or scores obtained (Raji, 2009).

Since the calculated t-value is less than the critical t-value, the null hypothesis, which states that there is no significant difference in the factors influencing juvenile delinquencies by respondents on the basis of age, is accepted. This shows that there is no significant diffe ... Continue reading---
