Answer

A student used a displacement can to measure the volume of a coin to be 8.2 cm³. The same student then used a measuring cylinder to measure the volume of a coin to be 8 cm³. Are the students results repeatable or reproducible?

Results are reproducible if different people, methods, or equipment produce consistent results. Since the student used two different methods (displacement can and measuring cylinder), this would test reproducibility.
