Running ants: A scientist collected the following data on the speed, in centimeters per second, at which ants ran at the given ambient temperature, in degrees Celsius.23
a. Find the equation of the regression line, giving the speed as a function of the temperature.
b. Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope of the regression line.
c. Express, using functional notation, the speed at which the ants run when the ambient temperature is 29 degrees Celsius, and then estimate that value.
d. The scientist observes the ants running at a speed of 2.5 centimeters per second. What is the ambient temperature?
