D. general examination, Dr. Bugg asked you to predict the temperature when the chirping rate for a cricket is 1,000 chirps per minute.  To accomplish this you collect a “bunch” of crickets and measure their chirping rate at different temperatures.  The data collected from your experiment follow:\r<BR>\n" );
