Question:
Adverse impact usually takes place when an employment decision, practice, or policy has a disproportionately negative effect on a protected group. HR professionals rely on the “four-fifths” or “80 percent” rule to judge whether adverse impact may have occurred. Consider the situation for men and for women:
sex | tot applicant | selected applicant | selection rate |
female | 750 | 375 | |
male | 1050 | 450 | |
tot | 180 | 825 | |
Calculate (a) the selection rate for females and (b) the selection rate for males.
What is the ratio of the female selection rate to the male selection rate?
