Grateful Dead Concert
At a recent Grateful Dead concert, a survey was conducted that asked a random sample of 20 people their age and how many concerts they have attended since the first of the year.It is suspected that older concert goers tend to go to more of his concerts in one year than younger concert goers.The data and analysis are shown below.

Cost of Books
The editor of a major academic book publisher claims that a large part of the cost of books is the cost of paper.This implies that larger books will cost more money.As an experiment to analyze the claim, a university student visits the bookstore and records the number of pages and the selling price of twelve randomly selected books.These data are listed below.
-{Cost of Books Narrative} Can we infer at the 5% significance level that the editor is correct?

Rock Concert Revenues
A financier whose specialty is investing in rock concerts has observed that, in general, concerts with "big-name" stars seem to generate more revenue than those concerts whose stars are less well known.To examine his belief he records the gross revenue and the payment (in $ millions) given to the two highest-paid performers in the concert for ten concert tours.
-{Rock Concert Revenues Narrative} Conduct a test of the population coefficient of correlation to determine at the 5% significance level whether a positive linear relationship exists between payment to the two highest-paid performers and gross revenue.
