Question

I read an article saying that in the full population, there's a significant, positive correlation between the strength of your hand (grip strength) and the strength of your upper arm (arm strength). I want to see if that's true, and I have devices that can measure this accurately. I gathered a sample of average, healthy 21-year-olds and measured these two variables. My results were non-significant. Why didn't I find a significant correlation

Answer 1

Restricted Range

Explanation:

Required

Reason for insignificant correlation

From the question, we understand that the article discussed the full population while you restricted the correlation to only 21-year-olds age groups.

You left out other age groups included in the original dataset that was analyzed and reported by the article. The term that describes this act is restricted range, because other age groups are not represented in your analysis.
