Results of 106 Monte Carlo realizations of the electron temperature in the high ionization zone and the resulting oxygen abundance. The contours represent the 1σ, 2σ, and 3σ levels, and the starred symbol represents the most likely value of the temperature and metallicity. The margins show the projected distribution of the temperature and metallicity.
