one who has been outdoors on a summer evening has probably heard crickets. Did you know that it is possible to use the cricket as a thermometer? Crickets tend to chirp more frequently as temperatures increase. This phenomenon was studied in detail by George W. Pierce, a physics professor at Harvard. In the following data,xis a random variable representing chirps per second andyis a random variable representing temperature (F).x20.315.320.817.917.315.514.717.1y89.471.892.983.181.475.269.782.0
