Question

A cost accountant is developing a regression model to predict the total cost of producing a batch of printed circuit boards as a linear function of batch size (the number of boards produced in one lot or batch), production plant (Kingsland, and Yorktown), and production shift (day, and evening). In this model, "shift" is ______.

Answer 1

Answer:

In our case of study "shift" is an independet variable.

Explanation:

The independent variable concept says that the element or object we are studying in a research experiment is going to be manipulated by us to study the relationship it has with another variable that we are not controlling. Therefore in our case, we are controlling Shift, while the production is the dependant variable because we are going to measure the shift to find out the production.
