Question

To understand how the weights of the cereal boxes vary among four different adjustable stabilizer settings of the rotary valve on the filling machine in three different production shifts, a manufacturing firm collects sample data using a structure or plan called an experimental design. In the data set for this experimental design, the weight of the boxes would be __________. Entry field with incorrect answer a fixed variable the independent variable the dependent variable a treatment variable

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": the independent variable.

Explanation:

Multiple regression is a mathematical model used concerning two or more variables when one value is to be used. The independent variable is the reason for the research, and the variables are dependent when they represent the value factors that need to be evaluated and are why the analysis is being carried out.

In the example, the independent variable is the weight of the boxes and the dependent variables are the adjustable stabilizer settings of the rotary valve on the filling machine in three different production shifts.
