Question

A researcher studied the relationship between the number of times a certain speciesof cricket will chirp in one minute and the temperature outside. Her data is expressedin the scatter plot and line of best fit below. What does the point (116, 57.1) represent?A.Actual temperature of 116°F when the cricket has chirped 57.1 timesB. An expected temperature of 57.1°F when the cricket has chirped 116 timesC. Actual temperature of 57.1°F when the cricket has chirped 116 timesD. An expected temperature of 116°F when the cricket has chirped 57.1 times

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Actual temperature of 57.1°F when the cricket has chirped 116 times

Explanation:

The x-axis represents the number of chirps per minute.

The values on the y-axis represent the temperature (in °F).

Given the point (116, 57.1)

• The number of chirps per minute = 116

,

• Temperature = 57.1°F

Thus, the point (116, 57.1) represent an actual temperature of 57.1°F when the cricket has chirped 116 times.
