Measures given include price, mpg ratings, engine size, body size, and indicators of features.
The 26 variables in the dataset offer sufficient variety to illustrate a broad range of statistical techniques typically found in introductory courses. We have used Execustat 's CARS89 data to demonstrate many points in both introductory and second level courses in applied statistics. In what follows we give a brief description of the updated and expanded 93CARS dataset and suggest several ways it might be used in class. Passenger cars or vans that were included in both sources were eligible for selection. A random sample of models given in the PACE Buying Guide was chosen and matched to cars covered in the Consumer Reports issue until a desired sample size of 93 was reached.
