A cost accountant is developing a regression model to predict the total cost of producing a batch of printed circuit boards as a function of batch size (the number of boards produced in one lot or batch). The independent variable is:

"Variable cost" is the appropriate answer.

Step by-step explanation:

Let an equation,

⇒

here,

or,

We can say that, "y" is a dependent variable as well as "x" is an independent variable.

Thus the independent variable is Variable cost.

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )
