You have to examine the pay rates of two different stores and determine if there is discrimination by sex regarding wage rates.  You must analyze the Central and the South stores separately. 

 

For each store, determine if the average wage of men is higher than the average wage of women. If men are being paid higher wages than women, determine why this difference occurs.  There are two possibilities you can check: there is unequal pay for equal work, and men are more likely to be in higher paying job categories than women.  Write up your conclusions and back them up with the appropriate statistics.
