It is found that there is a relationship between the weight of an airplane and the maximum speed it can travel. The results were published claiming that a lighter airplane can travel faster. What is the problem with reporting the result this way?

planes could not go if the airplane is to heavy or slow so that is why they both matter

Answer:

Missing data or correlation and causality

Explanation:

The results of a hypothesis should always be very accurate and display the research data that allowed us to reach the presented result. The lack of data, correlation and causality do not give the search result credibility because it does not show the factors and variables that show that the result is correct. This is the problem of the result stated in the question. The result is that lighter aircraft can travel faster, but it does not say the data, nor the variables and situations that led to this conclusion.
