C) The success rate for the least-achieving group is determined by dividing the number of members of a specific group employed in a period by the number of qualified applicants in a period. In this case, Hispanics were the least-achieving group because 100/500 = .2. The success rate of best-achieving group applicants is determined by dividing the number of people in the best-achieving group employed by the number of the best-achieving group applicants in a period. In this case, whites were the best-achieving group because 300/1,000 = .3.
