The data show the bug chirps per minute at different temperatures. Find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the independent (x) variable. Find the best predicted temperature for a time when a but is chirping at the rate of 3000 chirps per minute. Use a significance level of .05. What is wrong with this predicted value?
Chirps in 1 min. 929 854 771 1004 1201 1027
Temperature (F) 81.3 77.3 64.8 80.3 92.2 80.9
What is the regression equation?
^y= _____ + _____
(Round the x-coefficient to four decimal places as needed. Round the constant to two decimals as needed)
What is the predicted value? ^y= _____ (Round to one decimal places as needed)
What is wrong with this predicted value?
A. The first variable should have been the dependent variable
B. It is unrealistically high.
C. It is only an approximation
D. Nothing is wrong with this value
