Best Fit Line Application - Snowy Tree Cricket

Have you ever wondered why the chirping of crickets sounds so loud on a summer night? Why is the chirping sometimes faster of slower? The sounds are made by the male cricket rubbing its wings together to serenade the female crickets. There is an interesting relationship between the frequency of the chirps and the temperature. Below is the data collected by Dr. Peggy LeMone. Use the sliders to determine a best fit line for the data.
