Using the output above, answer the following questions:

i. Discuss on the normality for each variables 

ii. Briefly comment and explain on the scatter plot obtained in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 

iii. Based on the ANOVA table, briefly explain on the significance of the model. 

iv. Discuss on the significance of each variable. 

v. Briefly explain whether multicollinearity occurs in the regression model or not. If yes, suggest a variable that need to be omitted. 

vi. Interpret the value for the coefficient of determination, R²

An economist would like to study the factors that might affect the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Malaysia from 1995-2010. Few variables were taken as consideration for the determinant of FDI which is the amount of export (export), interest rate (interest) and inflation rate (inflation). Prior to analysis, some data checking procedure such as normality test and scatter plot analysis were conducted onto the data. The output form this procedure are as follows.
