Explanation / Answer

b. In R, the function dwtest() verifies if the residuals from a linear model are correlated or not:

As the p value (4.022e-05) is less than 0.05 one can reject the null and conclude that the residuals are autocorrelated.

c. In R, the function bgtest() verifies if there is higher-order serial correlation or not:

As the p value (0.0002998) is less than 0.05 one can reject the null and conclude that there is higher-order serial correlation among residuals.
