Answer 1

1. Appropriate test based on correlation when two version of test administered to reference group:

INTER RATER RELIABILITY is the best test used in this condition since it is used to observe the same behaviour independently between two groups and compare the results

EXAMPLE: Job performance assessment by office managers. Suppose if an employee receives a score of 9 from one group of managers and a score of 2 from other group of managers. Then inter rater reliability is used to determine that something is wrong with method of scoring and thus exposes the issue so that it can be corrected.

3. Appropriate test based on correlation when two tests are administered to a reference group. One is a new intelligence test and the second is the Stanford-Binet intelligence test.

Alternate and equivalent forms of reliability is used where two tests are given to same sample of reference group and estimate of reliability is calculated from two groups. On a simple note you are trying to find out that test 1 is measures the same thing as test 2.

In other words you want to know if two test scores stay the same.

4. Special estimation technique used when test is administered in onee time to a reference group and the test is divided into two parts.

Spearman brown prophecy formula is used in evaluating test reliability.

It takes split half correlation as input which only estimates reliability of half length test and implements correction to find true estimate of full length test.

rho*= n*rho / [1+(n-1)*rho]

Here formula takes split half reliability (rho) and number of tests (n) as input and produces full length equivalent (rho*)
