In a study to determine the relationship between ambient outdoor temperature and the rate of evaporation of water from soil, measurements of average daytime temperature in ? C and evaporation in mm/day were taken for 40 days. The results are shown in the following table.

Temp.	Evap.	Temp.	Evap.	Temp.	Evap.	Temp.	Evap.
11.8	2.4	11.8	3.8	18.6	3.5	14.0	1.1
21.5	4.4	24.2	5.0	25.4	5.5	13.6	3.5
16.5	5.0	15.8	2.6	22.1	4.8	25.4	5.1
