Here is the result. You can read more about box plots in <strong>StatTools</strong> help, but this plot makes it clear that<br />

females tend <strong>to</strong> make smaller salaries than males (the female box is slightly <strong>to</strong> the left), and their<br />

salaries tend <strong>to</strong> have less variation the male salaries (the female box is narrower). Note that the red<br />

points are called outliers.<br />

Third, you might want <strong>to</strong> see whether there is a relationship between Age and Salary, or between Years<br />

(of experience) and Salary. The best way <strong>to</strong> do this graphically is with scatterplots.<br />

To create one or more scatterplots:<br />

Select Scatterplot from the Summary Graphs dropdown list. As shown in the following dialog<br />

box, you can select any number of variables for the X axis and any for the Y axis. Those checked<br />

in the dialog box below are recommended for now. For these selections, you will get two<br />

scatterplots: Salary (Y) versus Age (X), and Salary (Y) versus Years (X). You can also see the<br />

correlations between the variables below the scatterplots by checking the circled option.
