Mean, ordered slope


Explanation:
All the work force is divided into two groups.
1.- 25 percentils of the work force earn more than $ X.
2.- 75 percentils earn less than $ X.
Both are represented in two levels High and Low.
The results are ordered numerically according to the growing value of the slope.
There is no intercept between functions however the curves can be extrapolated to the cartesian axis where there is interception.

  -> Sorry should have been median. An imperdonable blunder from someone that has several diplomas behind, theoretical and applied. Sorry again Giovanni.
