The chirping rate of crickets for various temperatures are observed in
\a table of values.
\Consider temperature as and chirping rate of crickets as
.
(a)
\Graph:
\(1) Draw the coordinate plane.
\(2) Temperature readings are taken in the
axis.
(3) Chirping rates readings are taken in the
axis.
(4) Plot the data of values in the graph.
\(b)
\Regression line:
\The process of data points and coming up with an equation is called regression,
\and the graph of the regression equation is called regression line.
\To find the regression equation use the first and last dots in the scatter plots.
\First dot is and last dot is
.
The equation of the line passing through two points and
is .
Substitute and
in the line equation.
The regression equation is .
Graph:
\Graph the regression equation .
(c)
\Find the chirping rate at F.
The temperature F.
The regression equation is .
Substitute F in the regression equation.
The chirping rate at F is
chirps per minute.
(a)
\Graph the plotted data.
\(b)
\The regression equation is and its graph.
(c)
\The chirping rate at F is
chirps per minute.
