Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statistical discrimination is based on judging people by the averages of the groups to which they belong, rather than individual characteristics. It is not based on ill will toward a group, so statement I is false. Statement III is also false because better ways of judging people would make statistical discrimination less necessary, not more meritorious.
