Question
A researcher interested in explaining the level of foreign reserves for the country of
Barbados estimated the following multiple regression model using yearly data
spanning the period 2001 to 2016:
FR=a+BOIL+yEXP+8FDI
Where FR = yearly foreign reserves ($000's), OIL = annual oil prices, EXP =
yearly total exports ($000's) and FDI = annual foreign direct investment ($000's).
The sample of data was processed using MINITAB and the following is an extract
