Please help with the following problem.

Using the data on the table below, are there any correlations between population changes for the areas listed.

The following is a list of acceptable tests:

regression line and equation; correlation
one-sample t-test
one-sample t confidence interval
matched-pairs t-test
two-sample t-test
two-sample t confidence interval
F-test for variances
ANOVA
one-sample z test for proportions
one-sample z confidence interval for proportions
two-sample z test for proportions
two-sample z confidence interval for proportions
chi-square
Please complete at least three significance tests and a confidence interval.

Decide which of the tests would best analyze your data. List those tests, state Ho and Ha,
and describe exactly what you expect to learn from each test.
