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 )?

chirped 68.4 times.

Explanation:

A line of best fit in a scatter - plot is used for prediction. When \(x = 110\) (where \(x\) represents chirps per minute), the \(y\) - value (where \(y\) represents temperature) on the line of best fit is a predicted value, not an actual value. The \(x\) - value in the context of the problem is the number of chirps per minute.

Answer:

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