Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

The Durbin-Watson test is used to detect the presence of autocorrelation between adjacent residuals. If the test detects the presence of autocorrelation, there is the possibility in the given model that important variables may have been omitted. The inclusion of these variables can reduce the presence of autocorrelation and enhance the quality of confidence and prediction intervals.
