If I am understanding the question correctly, I can give a simple explanaiton to the reason for repetition of an experiment. In any good scientific method process, it is the ultimate responsibility that the results of such experimentation can contain the following two factors: RELIABILITY: the ability for any other individual to perform the same experimentation under the same conditions and achieve the same result is critical. VALIDITY: the ability once the reliabilty has been established, the results can be considered without any futher "re-invention of the wheel" valid and no additional testing or experimentation is needed. (REMEMBER-- results are only valid if the same procedure over and over has yeilded the same results under the same conditions.

When an experiment yields positive results (in support of the predictive hypothesis), a repetition that confirms the original results is called "replication." Replication by independent investigators is one of the hallmarks of science.

You replicate an experiment when you repeat it, using the same method to achieve the same results. This is fundamental to a theory or hypothesis becoming accepted as scientific fact.

As often as necessary.

Usually they either repeat an experiment until they get values they are happy with or until they are convinced that its not going to.

Millikan is said to have repeated the oil-drop experiment 103 times before he got the value he wanted for the charge of the electron. In the margins of his lab-book after the last run he wrote 'Beauty! Publish!'

Usually important experiment are repeated ad infinitum by successive years of grad student looking to find fault and get themselves a name.

3 times is the minimum for performing an experiment; which is called a "trial".
