Judge and Cable (2010) report the results of a study demonstrating a negative relationship between weight and income for a group of women professionals.  Following are data similar to those obtained in the study.  To simplify the weight variable, the women are classified into five categories that measure actual weight relative to height, from 1 =thinnest to 5=heaviest.  Income figures are annual income (in thousands), rounded to the nearest $1,000.
