Describe in detail how the overall Change Plan for Lack of Health Care in Urban/Rural Areas will be evaluated and the resources needed to evaluate the project. Discuss the evaluation process in relationship to the projected outcomes. Create a dissemination plan. Explain how the outcome of the project will be disseminated externally (outside the setting to health care community) and internally (unit or hospital where the change process has taken place). A detailed plan answer includes who, what, where, how, and when? This assignment requires that you support your position by referencing at least three to five scholarly resources. At least two of your supporting references must be from peer-reviewed resources.

You own 2 restaurants serving the exact same type of food.   The menus of meals and drinks served are exactly the same.

Suppose that the costs of each restaurant are exactly the same.

Suppose further that the number of potential customers for each restaurant is exactly the same.

One restaurant is located in a wealthier section of town; one restaurant is located in a poorer section of town.

1. Should each restaurant have the same prices on their menus or different prices at each location? If different prices, which restaurant should have the higher prices and which restaurant should have the lower prices? Why?

2. How does your pricing policy above benefit you? Explain why.

You can compare it to other theories, or cite your experience in health care (either as worker or patient). thank you

A sample of 16 Triple-A minor league baseball teams were selected for statistical analysis. The following data show the average attendance for the 16 teams selected. Also shown are the teams’ records; W denotes the number of games won, L denotes the number of games lost, and PCT is the proportion of games played that were won.  Additionally, each teams’ major league association was given. The data are contained in the file named AAA.

1. Report your results in a summary
   1. Introduction:  In your own words, briefly discuss the motivation of this research (why would a study on credit card charges be of interest?).
   2. Graph and Summary statistics:  present a graph that summarizes the data along with a table of summary statistics for each variable in the data set.  An interpretation must accompany any graph, chart, or table that you use.
   3. Methods:  
      1. Develop estimated regression equations, first using attendance as the dependent variable and then using number of wins as the independent variable. Discuss your findings.
      2. Develop an estimated regression equation with attendance as dependent variable and both league and wins as the independent variables.  Discuss your findings.
      3. What is the predicted attendance for an America league AAA team with 72 wins?

4. Discussion:  Interpret the statistical decision you arrived at in terms that would be useful for sport organizations.  This section should also include suggestions for further research and/or discussion of additional variables that may provide more precise results.

A college senior who took the Graduate Record Examination exam scored 540 on the Verbal Reasoning section and 690 on the Quantitative Reasoning section. The mean score for Verbal Reasoning section was 456 with a standard deviation of 123, and the mean score for the Quantitative Reasoning was 441 with a standard deviation of 153. Suppose that both distributions are nearly normal. Round calculated answers to 4 decimal places unless directed otherwise.
