4. Crickets make a noise. The pitch, \(v \mathrm { kHz }\), of the noise made by a cricket was recorded at 15 different temperatures, \(t ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }\). These data are summarised below.
$$\sum t ^ { 2 } = 10922.81 , \sum v ^ { 2 } = 42.3356 , \sum t v = 677.971 , \sum t = 401.3 , \sum v = 25.08$$
- Find \(S _ { t t } , S _ { v v }\) and \(S _ { t v }\) for these data.
- Find the product moment correlation coefficient between \(t\) and \(v\).
- State, with a reason, which variable is the explanatory variable.
- Give a reason to support fitting a regression model of the form \(v = a + b t\) to these data.
- Find the value of \(a\) and the value of \(b\). Give your answers to 3 significant figures.
- Using this model, predict the pitch of the noise at \(19 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }\).
