The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan family, possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such as being a refined adaptation for feeding. However, the large surface area may also be an important mechanism for radiating heat (and hence cooling the bird) as outdoor temperature increases. Presented is the data for beak heat loss, as a percent of total body heat loss from all sources, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius.

The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan family, possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. This
exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such as being a refined adaptation for feeding. However, the large
surface area may also be an important mechanism for radiating heat (and hence cooling the bird) as outdoor temperature
increases. The table contains data for beak heat loss, as a percentage of total body heat loss from all sources, at various
temperatures in degrees Celsius. The data show that beak heat loss is higher at higher temperatures and that the relationship
is roughly linear. [Note: The numerical values in this problem have been modified for testing purposes.]
