We'll start by calling the number of pigeons we started with x, because it's the unknown.

After she clapped 1/3 flew away so she was left with

(1 - 1/3) x = (2/3) x

Two flew back, so now there are

(2/3) x + 2

She clapped again and half left, half stayed, so now

(1/2) ( (2/3) x + 2 )

One came back and there were five,

(1/2) ( (2/3) x + 2 ) + 1 = 5

Solving is unraveling.

(1/2) ( (2/3) x + 2 )  = 4

(2/3) x + 2   = 8

(2/3) x  = 6

x = (3/2) 6 = 9

Answer: 9 pigeons

Check: Reviewing the story,  9 -> 6 -> 8 -> 4 -> 5 good

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Temperature (degrees Celsius) : 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

Percent heat loss from beak : 35 36 38 28 41 43 55 46 39 54 45 58 60 56 62 67

Using an online regression calculator ; the regression equation obtained is :

ŷ = 2.0927X + 0.6029

X = independent variable

Y = predicted variable

2.0927 = slope

0.6029 = intercept

B.) temperature = 25

ŷ = 2.0927(25) + 0.6029

= 52.9204

C.) the explained variance is the value of the coefficient of determination (R²) which is the square of the correlation Coefficient

0.8785² = 0.7718

D.) the correlation Coefficient r is 0.8785 using the Coefficient of regression calculator
