For temperatures between 7 and 39 degrees, the least squares regression equation is: ice cream sales = 14.7 + 3.55 * temperature.

Predict the temperature (to the nearest degree) when ice cream sales is 200. Comment on the reliability of this prediction.

Temperature = 52.

This is an unreliable prediction, as 52 is outside the range of data we were given for temperatures (extrapolation).
