Problem 56313. Find Air Temperature from Cricket Stridulation Rate

Difficulty:
(37)
Rate
Stridulation is the process that creates a cricket's “chirp” by rubbing their wings or legs. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac (https://www.almanac.com/predict-temperature-cricket-chirps), the sum of the number of chirps in 14 seconds and 40 is the air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
Crickets generally do not sing at temperatures below 55 F or above 100 F. (https://entomology.unl.edu/k12/crickets/temperature.htm)
Use this formula to find the approximate outdoor temperature.
