Now it is your responsibility to complete an evaluation of the organization’s selection procedures by answering the following questions.
QUESTIONS
- For the given data, is there any evidence of adverse impact against any race, sex, or ethnic group (provide all of your calculations with your answer). If so, against which protected group?
