The data plotted below represent the distribution of salaries paid to new full-time assistant professors in U.S. doctoral departments of psychology in 1999–2000. The data are available on the Web site as Ex3–23.dat. Although the data are obviously skewed to the right, what would you expect to happen if you treated these data as if they were normally distributed? What explanation could you hypothesize to account for the extreme values?
