Question

A biologist wishes to determine if there is a relationship between temperature and the number of chirps per second of crickets. Below is the data of 15 crickets at various temperatures.

Chirps/sec	Temperature
20	88.6
16	71.6
19.8	93.3
18.4	84.3
17.1	80.6
15.5	75.2
14.7	69.7
17.1	82
15.4	69.4
16.2	83.3
15	79.6
17.2	82.6
16	80.6
17	83.5
14.4	76.3

Then the linear formula is:

Chirps =___+___ *Temperature
