Answer

$β_0=-0.31$ $β_1=0.2119$ $ŷ =16.68~chirps~per~second$

Work Step by Step

In MINITAB, enter the Temperature values in C1 and in C2 enter the Chirps per Second values. Select Stats -> Regression -> Regression -> Fit Regression Model Enter C2 in "Responses" and C1 in "Continuous Predictors" The least-squares regression line ($ŷ =b_1x+b_0$) will be shown in "Regression Equation", where C2 is ŷ (Chirps per Second) and C1 is x (Temperature) $ŷ =0.2119x-0.31$ That is: $b_0=-0.31$ and $b_1=0.2119$ $b_0$ is the estimate for $β_0$ and $b_1$ is the estimate for $β_1$. When the temperature is 80.2 °F, that is, $x=80.2$: $ŷ =0.2119\times80.2-0.31=16.68$
