Question 26·Medium·Two-Variable Data: Models and Scatterplots

A biologist recorded the air temperature and the average number of cricket chirps per minute at several times during an evening. The results are shown below.

Temperature (°F)Chirps per minute
6080
6588
7095
75100
80110

Assuming a linear model best describes the relationship between temperature and chirping rate, what is the best estimate of the number of chirps per minute when the temperature is 68°F?
