We often hear statistics about pay gaps based on sex or race. There are many statistics that say things like "For every 1 dollar a man earns, a woman earns cents". These statistics are really just ratios. For example, if the average woman earns $12.00 an hour and the average man earns $15.00 an hour, the ratio of women's hourly earnings to men's hourly earnings would be: 12/15 = .80. This would mean that for every $1.00 a man earns, a woman earns 80 cents. 25: Fill in the following table based on the information provided to you in the table. Note: This number is actually provided to you in the table, but needs to be converted back to a decimal. GENDER PAYS DIFFERENCES BY RACE/ETHNICITY FEMALE MALE WHITE $1.00 BLACK $1.00 ASIAN $1.00 HISPANIC $1.00 26. While the table gives us the answers to the chart you filled in above, we can also calculate these answers based on data provided in the table. In the space below, show how each statistic was calculated. For example, if I was showing the work for my example in the introduction I would write: 12/15 = .80. White women to White men: Asian women to Asian men: Hispanic women to Hispanic men: Black women to Black men: 27-28. We could also calculate wage ratios not found on this table by performing calculations with the data provided.
