 9. Babies typically learn to crawl approximately six months after birth.

9. Babies typically learn to crawl approximately six months after birth. however, it may take longer for babies to learn to crawl in the winter when they are often bundled in clothes that restrict their movement. Thus, there may be an association between a baby's crawling age and the average temperature during the month they first try to crawl. Below are the average ages (in weeks) at which babies began to crawl for a sample of babies born in each of the twelve months of the year. In addition, the average temperature (in OF) for the month which is six months after the birth month is also listed. Birth month Average crawling age Average temperature January 29.84 66 February 30.52 73 March 29.70 72 April 31.84 63 May 28.58 52 June 31.44 39 July 33.64 33 August 32.82 30 September 33.83 33 October 33.35 37 November 33.38 48 December 32.32 57 We want to investigate if the average age at which infants begin to crawl (y) can be predicted from the average outdoor temperature (x) six months after birth when they are likely to begin crawling. We decide to fit a least-squares regression line to the data with x as the explanatory variable and y as the response variable. We compute the following quantities
