A variable is regressed against three other variables, x, y, and z. Which of the following would NOT be an indication of multicollinearity? X is closely related to: A. 3y + 2z. B. y2. C. 3.
If x is related to y2, the relationship between x and y is not linear, so multicollinearity does not exist. If x is equal to a constant (3), it will be correlated with the intercept term.
