Oil prices

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a cartel, so it artificially sets prices. But are prices related to production?

Use the Crude price as the response variable and Production as the predictor variable.

a) Examine a scatterplot for the two variables and test the conditions for regression.

b) Do you think there is a linear association between oil prices and production? Explain.
