ABSTRACT

In this paper we focused on simple linear regression modeling techniques to Nigerian Oil Export between the periods of 2004-2013 obtained from statistical bulletin. Our result shows that there is a direct linear relationship between Oil Export(X) and Gross domestic product(Y).The coefficient of determination provided a good summary of the total variability explained by the chosen fitted model. We also observe that Oil export is statistically significant due to the fact that Oil export plays a key role in the economic growth of Nigeria. Hence the proposed model =58123.115+0.723x is found to be adequate.

Keywords: Regression Analysis, forecasting, Oil Export, Modeling and Nigeria.
