Question

J: Ab ves 15. The common cricket can be used as a crude thermometer. The colder the temperature, the slower the rate of chirping. The table below shows the average chirp rate of a cricket at various temperatures Chirp Rate (chirps/second) 2.3 1.6 1.3 2.6 Temperature 59 49.7 43.1 58.4 46.7 2.9 66.5 Given the table above and the following: r0.977959639, S 0.673547821, S, 8.844659406, compute the least-squares regression line for predicting the temperature from the chirp ratef round the slope and the y intercept to the nearest thousandth).

Explanation / Answer

The data points seems to be fall in Curvilinear and negative trend.

If the data is curvilinear then considered as non linear trend.

Answer: Negative Nonlinear
