Purchasing a car is a difficult decision. Car prices are a function of many variables such as mileage, age, foreign or domestic manufacture and engine technology utilized. Develop and run the following multiple regression model:

  1. Interpret the beta coefficient (slope)s of all slopes: mileage, age, dummy engine and dummy foreign
  2. Interpret R squared value of the model and root mean squared error (RMSE)
  3. Would mileage and age influence your decision based on the statistical output for this sample data?
  4. Would the price of a car be raised if a car were of foreign make and used V6 engine technology?

What will the expected price of a car be in the lemon market if the age of a car was 8 years, with 9,000 miles on it, is of foreign make and with V6 engine?

Use Car Price ($) Mileage (Miles) Age (Years) Dummy Engine: V6 Technology=0, Not V6 Technology=1 Dummy Foreign: US=0, Foreign=1

Sustaining change can be difficult, as there are many variables that can affect implementation. One critical component of EBP is to ensure that practice change is part of an organization's culture so it will continue to impact outcomes over time. Name two potential barriers that may prevent your EBP change proposal from continuing to obtain the same desired results 6 months to a year from now, and your strategies for overcoming these barriers.
