Which Model? A cricket makes a chirping noise by sliding its wings together rapidly. Perhaps you have noticed that the rapidity of chirps seems to increase with the temperature. The following data list the temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) and the number of chirps per second for the striped ground cricket.
(a) Using a graphing utility, draw a
(b) Based on your response to part (a), find either a linear or a quadratic model that best describes the relation between temperature and chirps per second.
Use your model to predict the chirps per second if the temperature is .
