According to the American Medical Association, about 36% of all U.S. physicians under the age of 35 are women. Your company has just hired eight physicians under the age of 35 and none is a woman. If a group of women physicians under the age of 35 want to sue your company for discriminatory hiring practices, would they have a strong case based on these numbers? Use the binomial distribution to determine the probability of the company’s hiring result occurring randomly, and comment on the potential justification for a lawsuit. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability of hiring result occuring randomly: enter the probability of the company’s hiring result occurring randomly

Concept explainers

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

In an article that appears on a website,† Carlton Gunn, a public defender in Seattle, Washington, wrote about how he uses statistics in his work as an attorney. He states the following. I personally have used statistics in trying to challenge the reliability of drug testing results. Suppose the chance of a mistake in the taking and processing of a urine sample for a drug test is just 1 in 100. And your client has a "dirty" (i.e., positive) test result. Only a 1 in 100 chance that it could be wrong? Not necessarily. If the vast majority of all tests given—say 99 in 100—are truly clean, then you get one false dirty and one true dirty in every 100 tests, so that half of the dirty tests are false. Define the following events as given below. TD = event that the test result is dirty TC = event that the test result is clean D = event that the person tested is actually dirty C = event that the person tested is actually clean (a) Using the information in the quote, compute the following…
