Question

a researcher studied the relationship between the number of times a certain species of cricket will chirp in one minute and the temperature outside. her data is expressed in the scatter plot and line of best fit below. what is the meaning of the y - value on the line when x = 110? answer the predicted temperature in degrees fahrenheit if the ericket has chirped 110 times. the actual temperature in degrees fahrenheit when the cricket has chirped 110 times. the predicted temperature in degrees fahrenheit if the actual temperature in degrees fahrenheit when

Explanation:

A line of best fit in a scatter - plot is used to predict values. The \(x\) - axis represents the number of chirps per minute and the \(y\) - axis represents the temperature. When \(x = 110\), we are using the line of best fit (not an actual data point) to find the corresponding \(y\) - value. So it is a prediction.

Answer:

The predicted temperature in degrees Fahrenheit if the cricket has chirped 110 times.
