Graph Reference: Expected Salary Offer per Year of Experience
The Middle Black Line

This line depicts the expected salary offer for each year of required experience calculated from the sample of want ads. The expected salary for each year of required experience is shown in a box on the line. The expected salary is the most likely, and the average, salary offered.
The 95% Probability Lines Infer the Expected Salary Offer for the Entire Job Market
The sample of classified want ads enables inferences to be made concerning the entire job market for this position. The gray lines above and below the middle black line present the Highest and Lowest salary offers that can be expected in the entire job market. There is a 95% certainty that the average salary offer, within the entire job market for this position, lies between the High and the Low numbers that point to the gray lines at each year of required experience.
Please Note:
All three curves cross at the central tendency point. The further the number of years of required experience is from the central tendency point, the larger the 95% probability region of the expected salary offer.
Graph Reference: Extreme Salary Offers There are 3 statistics presented in this graph
Each statistic presents an assessment of the likelihood or frequency of a salary offer occurring:
= Expected Salary Offer 68% of Want Ads list a Salary between these two Extremes (+/- 1 standard deviation) 95% of Want Ads list a Salary between these two Extremes (+/- 1.96 standard deviations) The expected salary offer is the most likely salary offer as calculated from the sample of want ads The 68% probability extreme indicates the boundaries where salary offers become infrequent for the entire job market The 95% probability extreme indicates the boundaries where salary offers become extremely infrequent for the entire job market
Extreme Salaries
The 68% Probability Extremes: Salary offers are unlikely above or below this range Two Thirds (68%) of salary offers are in this range Only 1/6th (16%) of salary offers are greater than the high number Only 1/6th (16%) of salary offers are less than the low number The 68% confidence interval is constructed by taking one standard deviation then adding it to and subtracting it from the expected salary offer The 95% Probability Extremes Salary offers are extremely unlikely above or below this range 95% of salary offers are in this range Only 2.5% of salary offers are greater than the high number Only 2.5% of salary offers are less than the low number The 95% confidence interval is constructed by multiplying the standard deviation by 1.96 then adding it to and subtracting it from the expected salary offer For the complete presentation of the expected salary offer please see the "Expected Salary Offer per Year of Experience" graph.
AS400 Administrator Statistical Test Results

Regression Summary Salary vs. 3 Independents Count Num. Missing R R Squared Adjusted R Squared RMS Residual 56 0 .794 .630 .609 12.726
The R Squared statistic indicates: 1. 63.0% of the variability between salaries offered in want ads is explained by the expected salary offer line. 2. 37.0% of the variability between salaries offered in want ads is explained in the areas above and below the average salary offer line. This variability is depicted in the 95% probability range of the expected salary offer and the Extreme Salary Offer Graphs. The R Squared statistic calculates the percentage of the variation in salary offers away from the mean salary offer, explained by the expected salary offer line. An R Squared statistic of 1 would indicate that the expected salary offer line would be the only salary offered in the marketplace. A reasonable degree of variability should be expected due to the many factors influencing individual want ads.
ANOVA Table Salary vs. 3 Independents DF Regression Residual Total 3 52 55 Sum of Squares 14357.342 8421.423 22778.766 Mean Square 4785.781 161.950 F-Value 29.551 P-Value <.0001

The statistical significance tests indicate a high level of quality for the expected salary offer numbers: 1. There is less than a . 01% (one ten-thousandth) chance that there is no relationship between salary offers and experience requirements (P-Value in ANOVA Table). 2. There is less than a . 01% (one ten-thousandth) chance that the entry level salary offer can't be defined (Intercept P-Value in Regression Coefficients Table). 3. There is less than a . 01% (one ten-thousandth) chance that the yearly increase in salary offer can't be defined (Years P-Value in Regression Coefficients Table). 4. There is a . 72% (seventy-two ten-thousandth) chance that the Financial effect can't be defined (Fin P-Value in Regression Coefficients Table). 5. There is a 1. 67% chance that the Operator effect can't be defined (Operator P-Value in Regression Coefficients Table).
