Tom’s Used Mustangs Report Robert Davy GM533 Applied Managerial Statistics GM533 – Course Project February 16, 2011 Executive Summary I was hired to review the information collected by Tom of Tom’s Used Mustangs to determine what features if any affect the sales price of used Mustangs.

To begin our comparison of Dell Computer and Ford Motor Company, let’s begin by discussing the similarities between the companies. The main similarity is in their operating principles.
