After being rejected for employment, Kim Kelly learns that the Bellevue Credit Company has hired only four women among the last 17 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 four or fewer women when 17 people are hired, assuming that there is no discrimination based on gender. 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? O no, this does not support a charge of gender discrimination O yes, this supports a charge of gender discrimination
