Algebra: Scatter Plots
SCIENCE Scientists have determined that there Temperature (˚F) Chirps/min
may be a relationship between temperature and 71 138
the number of chirps produced by crickets. The
table gives the temperature and the number of 68 97
chirps per minute for several cricket samples. 75 152
