A study was conducted to examine the impact of temperature changes on the number of "non-native species" in an area of the mid-Atlantic ocean. The results of the study are shown in the table below.

Temperature (Â°C) Number of species

Sample 1 15 12

Sample 2 22 10

Sample 3 32 23

Sample 4 27 19

What is the relationship between temperature and non-native species?

There are more non-native species in warmer temperatures.

There is no correlation.

There are fewer non-native species in warmer temperatures.

There are more non-native species in colder temperatures.

Serena · Answer 1

Based on the data collected which showed the number of non-native species at certain temperatures, it can be concluded that there are more non-native species in warmer temperatures. As you can see from the data, at 15°C, there are 12 non-native species, this generally increases with 23 species at 32°C. Although the number of non-native species decreased at 22 °C, from 12 to 10 species. The difference is insignificant, and we still can conclude that there is direct correlation between increasing the temperature and the number of non-native species.
