Regression Analysis: Calculation of Total Cost
Terrific Taffy is a manufacturer of saltwater taffy. Recently, the owner, Melinda Gross, asked her controller to perform a regression analysis on production costs. Melinda believes that pounds of taffy produced drive all of the company's production costs. The controller generated the following regression output:
