The ongoing question that the weekly assignments will focus on is: Are males and females paid the same for equal work (under the Equal Pay Act)?
Note: to simplfy the analysis, we will assume that jobs within each grade comprise equal work.
The column labels in the table mean:
ID Employee sample number Sal Salary in thousands
Age Age in years EES Appraisal rating (Employee evaluation score)
SER Years of service G Gender (0 = male, 1 = female)
Mid salary grade midpoint Raise percent of last raise
Grade job/pay grade Deg (0= BS\BA 1 = MS)
Gen1 (Male or Female) Compa - salary divided by midpoint

We fail to reject Ho.
There isn't enough evidence that male and female compas are equal.
4. If the salary and compa mean tests in questions 3 and 4 provide different equality results,
which would be more appropriate to use in answering the question about salary equity? Why?
5.What other information would you like to know to answer the question about salary equity between the genders? Why?
Other information which would affect salary equity are work experience, years worked in the
company, education level etc. These factors may not be equal between male and female and thus,
affect salary equity.
Using compa mean test would be appropriate because a difference indicated by salary mean test
may be due to unequal distribution of job grade between male and female. Dividing by mid-point of
pay-grade would bring all salary to same scale, so compa mean test should be used.
