Question
(3) A large corporation is facing a lawsuit alleging that they are engaging in age-discrimination.
Specifically, they are accused of promoting younger people at greater rates (and pass-
ing over older people for promotion). The following contingency table contains data
for people in the company for a one-year timeframe.
Under 30 30-39 40-49 50 and over
16
22 26
15
Not Promoted

a. Which variable is the explanatory variable and which is the response variable?
b. What percent of Under 30 year olds were promoted?
c. What percent of over 50 year olds were promoted?
d. Make a conditional disribution by age group (this means to calculate the relative
frequencies after separating the data based on the different age groups).
e. When you compare the proportion who were promoted across the different age
groups, does there appear to be a significant change in the promotion proportions
in the different age groups? (let's say that "significant change means more than a
10% difference).
