Biologists have noticed that the chirping of crickets of a certain species is related to temperature, and the relationship appears to be very nearly linear. A cricket produces 119 chirps per minute at 67 degrees Fahrenheit and 172 chirps per minute at 88 degrees Fahrenheit. Find a linear equation that models the temperature as a function of the number of chirps per minute .
If the crickets are chirping at 152 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature:
Temperature =
1 answer
hirps = 119 + (172-119)(T-67)/(88-67)
