QuestionListed below are the numbers of cricket chirps in 1 minute and the corresponding temperatures in . Find the regression equation, letting chirps in 1 minute be the independent ( ) variable. Find the best predicted temperature at a time when a cricket chirps 3000 times in 1 minute, using the regression equation. What is wrong with this predicted temperature? Use a significance level of 0.05 .
\begin{tabular}{l|cccccccc}
Chirps in 1 min & 973 & 752 & 1048 & 973 & 848 & 1071 & 846 & 1128 \\
\hline Temperature ( ) & 77.1 & 66 & 86.6 & 83.5 & 73.5 & 85.8 & 76.5 & 83.9
\end{tabular}
The regression equation is .
(Round the -intercept to one decimal place as needed. Round the slope to four decimal places as needed.)
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. The relationship between the number of cricket chirps and temperature can be modeled using linear regression.
2. The independent variable is the number of chirps in 1 minute.
3. The dependent variable is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
4. We are using a significance level of 0.05 to evaluate the regression model.
STEP 2
1. Calculate the regression equation.
2. Use the regression equation to predict the temperature for 3000 chirps.
3. Evaluate the prediction and discuss any potential issues.
STEP 3
Calculate the means of and .
STEP 4
Calculate the slope using the formula:
STEP 5
Calculate the y-intercept using the formula:
STEP 6
Substitute the values of and into the regression equation:
STEP 7
Predict the temperature when the number of chirps is 3000:
STEP 8
Discuss the prediction:
- Evaluate if the prediction is reasonable given the range of data.
- Discuss any extrapolation concerns since 3000 chirps is outside the observed data range.
The regression equation is:
The predicted temperature for 3000 chirps is:
Note: The actual numerical values for and need to be calculated using the provided data.
