The college graduates of 2000 could hardly have asked for better luck. The unemployment rate dropped to 4.1 % in May 2000- roughly, the lowest level in a generation- and employers were literally scrambling for new hires. Starting salaries rose, many graduating seniors had numerous job offers, and some firms even offered $10,000- $20,000 bonuses to students who signed the dotted line. Three years later, the job market for the Class of 2003 was rather different. U.S. economic growth had slowed to a crawl, and then to a halt. Companies that had stocked up on recent college grads in the tighter labour markets of 1998-2000 found themselves with more than they knew what to do with in 2002 and 2003. They were not eager to hire more. Bonuses and other “perks” disappeared; job offers became scarcer. With the unemployment rate around 6% in May and June of 2003, the job market was far from the worst ever. But it was nothing like the glory days of 2000.

The Conch Café, located in Gulf Shores, Alabama, features casual lunches with a great view of the Gulf of Mexico. To accommodate the increase in business during the summer vacation season, Fuzzy Conch, the owner, hires a large number of servers as seasonal help. When he interviews a prospective server, he would like to provide data on the amount a server can earn in tips. He believes that the amount of the bill and the number of diners are both related to the amount of the tip. He gathered the following sample information.

They decided to open an Irish restaurant in Changchun, a small town in Northeast China. There were no other Irish restaurants in Changchun, and the possibility of doing something new and somewhat risky intrigued the young people. They purchased an old bistro just off Main Street for their new restaurant, which they named "The Bridge 1988".
