Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ratio of Black applicants hired to White applicants hired is 10:30, which can be simplified to 1:3. This means that Black applicants are being hired at a rate that is only 33% the rate of White applicants. This indicates adverse impact on Black applicants, as they are not being selected for hire at the same rate as White applicants. Adverse impact is a potential indicator of discrimination, but further investigation is needed to determine if illegal hiring practices are occurring.
