Problem 1: Oil Production Data: The Data in the following arethe annual world crude oil production in millions of barrels forthe period 1880-1988. The data are taken from Moore and McCabe(1993, p. 147).

Here is the code help you to paste the data into your R.

data5<-'year barrels
1880 30
1890 77
1900 149
1905 215
1910 328
1915 432
1920 689
1925 1069
1930 1412
1935 1655
1940 2150
1945 2595
1950 3803

1960 7674
1962 8882
1964 10310

  1. Construct a scatter plot of the oil production variable (OIL)versus Year and observe that the scatter of points on the graph isnot linear. In order to fit a linear model to these data, OIL mustbe transformed.
  2. Construct a scatter plot of log(OIL) versus Year. The scatterof points now follows a straight line from 1880 to 1973. Politicalturmoil in the oil-producing regions of the Middle East affectedpatterns of oil production after 1973.
