A couple more words about how to read diagrams. All salaries are in rubles. Dots indicate specific salaries. That is, the more points, the more such salaries were indicated. A group of points for each sample is visualized using a “box with whiskers” (box-and-whiskers, or box plot). On the box you can see the median salary (median; half of salaries is higher, and half below this point, it can be considered the average salary in the sample), lower and upper quartiles (q1 and q3; dividing the upper half and lower half of salaries in half, eventually half of all salaries lie between them).
