D) None of the answers is correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regression analysis is used to develop a mathematical equation that describes how one dependent variable (the outcome) is related to one or more independent variables (predictors). Therefore, the correct answer is C. A is incorrect because it only includes one dependent variable and one independent variable. B is incorrect because it suggests that there are multiple independent variables, which is possible but not necessary for regression analysis. D is incorrect because one of the answers is correct.
