After being rejected for employment, Kim Kelly learns that the Bellevue Credit Company has hired only three women among the last 20 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 three or fewer women when 20 people are hired, assuming that there is no discrimination based on gender. (Use the binomial distribution (not the normal) and report answer accurate to 8 decimal places). P(at most three) = Because this is a serious claim, 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? no, this does not support a charge of gender discrimination yes, this supports a charge of gender discrimination
