Question

a researcher studied the relationship between the number of times a certain species of cricket will chirp in one minute and the temperature outside. her data is expressed in the scatter plot and line of best fit below. what is the meaning of the $x$-value on the line when $y = 95$?

Explanation:

The y-axis represents temperature (Degrees Fahrenheit), and the x-axis represents the number of cricket chirps per minute. When $y=95$, the corresponding x-value on the line of best fit is the predicted number of times the cricket species chirps in one minute when the outside temperature is 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer:

The x-value is the predicted number of chirps per minute for the cricket species when the outside temperature is 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
