Answer: log S = log C + z log A.
- A log S = log C + z log A
- B log A = log C + z log S
- C log C = log S + z log A
- D log S = log A - z log C
Correct answer: A. log S = log C + z log A
Explanation: Taking logarithms of S = CA<sup>z</sup> gives log S = log C + z log A, a straight line whose slope is the regression coefficient z.
