Measuring the Wind Speed of a HurricaneWhen measuring the wind speed of a hurricane or similar storm, meteorologists don’t want to get hit by flying debris. They use a measure available to them in the comfort of their TV studio. Luckily for the meteorologists, the barometric pressure is linearly related to the wind speed. Suppose scientists compared the wind speeds and barometric pressure readings of two severe storms over the Atlantic Ocean. For one of the storms, the barometric pressure was 1,000 mb (millibars), and the maximum wind speed was 100 kmh (kilometers per hour). The second had a barometric pressure of 960 mb and maximum wind speeds of 180 kmh. (a)Develop a rule that you could use to predict the wind speed given any barometric pressure.(b)Use your rule to predict the wind speed of a hurricane with a barometric pressure of 980 mb. Using what you know about linearity, explain why your prediction is reasonable. (c)Interpret the intercept for wind speed in this context (i. e., as it pertains to the weather).(d)Explain the meaning of slope in this context.
