A marine biologist is investigating whether there is a linear relationship between the sea surface temperature (TTT, in ∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C) and the annual growth rate of a specific coral species (GGG, in mm/year). She collects data from a random sample of 28 reefs.
Suggest an appropriate statistical test that could be used to analyse the relationship between these two variables, and explain two reasons for your choice in the context of this study.
