Answer:
The best estimate for the average temperature in October at 10 a.m. is 73.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
Solution:
Number of hours after 5 a.m.: x
At 10 a.m.→x=10-5→x=5
yˆ=−0.37(5)^2+6.15(5)+52.3
yˆ=−0.37(25)+30.75+52.3
yˆ=−9.25+30.75+52.3
yˆ=73.8
Answer: The best estimate for the average temperature in October at 10 a.m. is 73.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
