Null Hypothesis
There is NO significant positive relationship between a person’s average foot length and his/her average forearm length.

Variables
Independent: A person’s average foot length.
Dependent: A person’s average forearm length.
Extraneous:
  • Left and right lengths of foot and forearm may be different
  • Gender
  • Age
  • Weight
