The outdoor temperature can be determined by counting the number of chirps a cricket makes in 25 seconds. A scientist counted the number of chirps and recorded the outdoor temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) once a month for 15 months. She found that there was a linear association and plotted her data along with the function that best fits.
If she counted 33 cricket chirps in 25 seconds, what would she predict the outdoor temperature to be?
12℃
15℃
40℃
80℃

Judy is a personal trainer at a local gym and wants to track the weight loss of her 11 clients during a 4-week program. She records the amount of time they exercise (in hours), 𝑥, and the amount of weight loss (in pounds), 𝑦. She models the data using the function 𝑦 = 3 + 0.5𝑥. To analyze the fit of her function, she finds the residuals and creates the following residual plot.
Which conclusion about the fit of the function is supported by the residual plot?
The residuals indicate that the function is an unbiased model that represents a negative, linear association between hours of exercise and weight loss.
The residuals indicate that the function is an unbiased model that represents a positive, linear association between hours of exercise and weight loss.
The residuals indicate that the function is a biased model of the association between hours of exercise and weight loss.
The residuals indicate that there is no association between hours of exercise and weight loss.

A researcher selected 8 chicken farms from across the state for a study. The researcher recorded the number of hens and the number of eggs laid by those hens over a 24-hour period. The researcher then calculated a line of best fit for the data. The equation of the line of best fit was 𝑦 = 0.97𝑥 + 3.06 where 𝑥 represents the number of hens and 𝑦 represents the number of eggs.
Which statement is true?
0.97 represents the average number of eggs laid by a hen per day.
3.06 represents the average number of eggs laid by a hen per day.
0.97 represents the average number of hens that laid eggs per day.
3.06 represents the average number of hens that laid eggs per day.
