Consider the following scatterplot of mean February temperature (F) versus the latitude (N) for 12 US cities.

Predict the mean February temperature (F) for Kona, HI at an approximate latitude of 19N.

Select one:

a.87.4 F and this result is reliable since the Least Squares Regression line is appropriate for this data.

b.82.6F; however, this result is unreliable due to extrapolation.

c.82.6 F and this result is reliable since the Least Squares Regression line is appropriate for this data.

d.87.4 F; however, this result is unreliable due to extrapolation.
