If you are using statistical analysis (and you are using it honestly) then it is understood that there is a small but finite possibility (usually 5%) that you obtained your significant results by chance alone. So replication of studies helps to support findings. There are methods of meta-analysis where results of many studies are examined together so that the pooled probabilities can be calculated with some degree of accuracy, even though there may be some complications of interpretation because different studies will have widely different hypotheses.

to make sure that its a reliable source of information...E.G if i were to conduct an experiment on the average height of a ball being thrown up in the air by an averaged sized adult, i would have to conduct the experiment to make sure that1. i can calculate the the averageand 2. so that i can make sure that the first test wasn't a fluke and that all other tests are relevant

Experiments are repeated more than once because we need to make sure the results can be replicated. If you do an experiment and get a specific result but do the experiment again and get a different result that usually means there was a flaw in your original experiment, if you do the experiment a third time, though and get the same result as the first time the flaw may have been in your replication. Either way, scientists repeat experiments to show that their results can be replicated. Essentially this shows that we understand the processes well enough to be able to "control" them. Hope this helps! :)
