What does statistics mean?
1. How can an organization collect and report these statistics in the form shown in Exhibit 2.6?
2. What standards or guidelines would you recommend for deciding whether statistical differences between men and women or nonminorities and minorities reflect discrimination occurring throughout an organization’s staffing system?
3. What type of staffing activities might be causing the statistical differences? How would organizations collect the data necessary to compute these selection rates, how would you decide whether the difference in selection rates (50% v. 11%) is big enough to indicate possible discrimination, and what sorts of practices might be causing the difference in selection rate?
