An operator checks that all boxes being packed contain enough products to fill the box. However, each box getting filled has a different number of products in it.
This is a Reproducibility problem, not a Repeatability problem.

This is a Reproducibility problem, not a Repeatability problem.
The scenario describes an operator checking boxes, which suggests that the same process is being repeated by the same operator. Repeatability refers to the consistency of measurements or results when the same operator uses the same method under the same conditions. In this case, even though the number of products in each box varies, it involves the same operator, which makes it a repeatability problem.
Assuming all boxes are of the same size and all products being filled in are also the same size. B is correct. Since it is the same operator or the same machine packing the boxes, it is a repeatability issue. Reproducibility involves another operator packing or using a different similar machine to pack. While both accuracy and repeatability are important, repeatability tends to be more important than accuracy in many applications. You can have accurate results that are not repeatable and repeatable results that are not accurate. Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the true value, while repeatability is the measurement of the ability to subsequently hit the same target value or result.
