When describing how to measure temperature by counting cricket chirps, most guides suggest that you count the number of chirps in a 15-second time period. Use exercise 77 to explain why this is a convenient period of time.
Preliminaries
Polynomials and Rational Functions
Find the best predicted temperature for a time when a cricket is chirping at the rate of 1000 chirps per minute. $$\begin{array}{l|cccccccc}\text { Chirps in 1 min } & 882 & 1188 & 1104 & 864 & 1200 & 1032 & 960 & 900 \\\hline \text { Temperature ($^{\circ}$F) } & 69.7 & 93.3 & 84.3 & 76.3 & 88.6 & 82.6 & 71.6 & 79.6\end{array}$$
