Question

After being rejected for employment, Kim Kelly learns that the Bellevue Credit Company has hired only four women among the last 21 new employees. She also learns that the pool of applicants is very large, with an approximately equal number of qualified men as qualified women. Help her address the charge of gender discrimination by finding the probability of getting four or fewer women when 21 people are hired, assuming that there is no discrimination based on gender. (Report answer accurate to 8 decimal places). P(at most four) = Because this is a serious claim, we will use a stricter cutoff value for unusual events. We will use 0.5% as the cutoff value (1 in 200 chance of happening by chance). With this in mind, does the resulting probability really support such a charge? no, this does not support a charge of gender discrimination yes, this supports a charge of gender discrimination

Explanation / Answer

Ho :p=0.5

Ha: p<0.5

X follow binomial distribution with n=21,p=0.5 under the null hypothesis

P(X<=4)= 0.00359869003

Since 0.00359 < 0.005

We reject the null hypothesis

Yes

This support a change of gender discrimination
