The discussion revolves around analyzing grip strength differences between sexes based on forearm musculature using ANOVA. The researcher has collected data on dominant hand strength and anthropometric properties from 36 participants (18 males and 18 females). There is a concern about the sample size potentially being too small for statistically significant results. The consensus suggests that if the assumptions of ANOVA are met, it would be an appropriate method for this analysis. Overall, the focus is on determining the correct statistical approach for interpreting sex-related differences in grip strength.

I have recorded the dominant hand strength from all of my participants. I have also recorded a number of anthropometric properties of my participants, including a measure of skin-fold adjusted forearm girth, with the intention of estimating the amount of musculature in the forearm. I have recorded this data from 18 males and 18 females.

I would like to illustrate the interpretation of any sex-related differences in grip strength that might i fI consider the amount of musculature in the forearm.

Am I correct to assume that I should be using a simple ANOVA for this analysis?

Thanks,

Dants

Could be wrong, but I don't think your sample size is large enough to get a statistically significant result, assuming there was one.
 
I have yet to start the analytics. I was more so inquiring about which analysis was appropriate to use in order to find the results.
 
If the assumptions of ANOVA are satisfied, you should be good to go.
 

Thread 'Please Explain (actually explain) The Monty Hall Problem'

Hello, I'm joining this forum to ask two questions which have nagged me for some time. They both are presumed obvious, yet don't make sense to me. Nobody will explain their positions, which is...uh...aka science. I also have a thread for the other question. But this one involves probability, known as the Monty Hall Problem. Please see any number of YouTube videos on this for an explanation, I'll leave it to them to explain it. I question the predicate of all those who answer this...
