After being rejected for employment, Kim Kelly learns that the Bellevue Credit Company has hired only two women among the last 19 new employees. She also learns that the pool of applicants is very large, with an approximately equal number of qualified men as qualified women. Help her address the charge of gender discrimination by finding the probability of getting two or fewer women when 19 people are hired, assuming that there is no discrimination based on gender. (Report answer accurate to 8 decimal places). P( at most two)= Because this is a serious daim, we will use a strict cutoff value for unusual events. We will use 0.5% as the cutoff value ( 1 in 200 chance of happening by chance). With this in mind, does the resulting probability really support such a charge? yes, this supports a charge of gender discrimination no, this does not support a charge of gender discrimination Question 12 You really struggle remembering to bring your lunch to work. Each day seems to be independent as to whether you remember to bring your lunch or not. The chance that you forget your lunch each day is 32.5%. Consider the next 48 days. Let X be the number of days that you forget your lunch out of the 48 days. Calculate the following: (a) ?X?:?X?: Round to 4 decimals. (b) What would be the first number of days, larger than the mean, that would be considered unusual (an "outlier")? (Enter a whole number.) (c) Find the probability of forgetting your lunch at least as many times as your answer to part (b). Round to 4 decimals.
