Answer 1

Answer:

Inter- rater reliability.

Explanation:

Inter-rater reliability is the point where two or more observers agree. It is the practice of finding common degree of similarities or consensus that exists in the ratings given by various observers or trained professionals.

Inter-rater reliability is also known as inter-rater agreement because the observers come into similar conclusions after addressing a number of statistics.
