The histogram and line graphs show that the information is very compact. There is not really a skew but the maximum at $41,480 does tower over the other data points. For the most part there are slight ups and down throughout the data but it is generally just a horizontal line. Across the country teachers are paid about the same.  I would have assumed that different states had bigger differences in teacher’s salaries because I thought the money for teachers was budgeted by the specific municipality that a school is located in but it could be a larger form of government that controls it.

The various graphs shown on the padlet illustrate visually how the information appears. Most of the information is in the center of everything. Though the range is somewhat large, the majority of data is in a much smaller range. There are not many values that stray form the norm.  As seen on the box chart, the interquartile range is only about 5,000. That shows 50% of the data being between $21,494.50 and $26,567.50.

We decided to study teacher’s salaries around the United States because we thought it would be interesting to see how much they are paid to educate the future generations. The median of the data we gathered is a salary of $23,382. The third quartile shows that 75% of teacher’s salaries in the United States are $26,567.50 or less. We were very surprised by this data. There was a major outlier at $41,480 which makes the range of the salaries just slightly more than $20,000. I assumed that teachers generally started in the $20,000 to $25,000 range then moved up into the $30,000 to $40,000 range but from this data it appears that a large majority of teachers earn a salary of low to mid 20,000s.
