To Investigate Biases Against Women in Personnel Decisions, Psychologists Performed

To investigate biases against women in personnel decisions, psychologists performed a randomized experiment on 50 male bank supervisors attending a management institute who volunteered for the study. The supervisors were asked to make a decision on whether to promote a hypothetical applicant based on a personnel file. For 26 of them, the application file described a female candidate; for the others it described a male. The files were identical in all other respects. Results on the promotion decisions for the two groups are shown below.
-The standardized statistic for this study is 2.59, and the p-value is 0.009. State a conclusion of the test in context of the problem.
