Shark scientists are interested in whether the magnitude of hammer-head shark migration is related to the temperature of the local coastal area. They divided the coast into 8 parts based on topography, and then they measured each part's temperature level during the shark migration and the number of sharks that migrated. Which type of statistical test should they use to analyze their data?

Question
Shark scientists are interested in whether the magnitude
of hammer-head shark migration is related to the
temperature of the local coastal area. They divided the
coast into 8 parts based on topography, and then they
measured each part's temperature level during the shark
migration and the number of sharks that migrated.
Which type of statistical test should they use to analyze
their data?
O Independent samples t test
Single Sample t-test
Paired samples t test
Pearson's r correlation
O Z test
One-way ANOVA
Simple linear regression
