Problem Set 1: A human resources manager at a company knows that the employee population is 30% female/70% male. He wants to know if this same proportion holds for the number of disciplinary “write-ups” in employee files. His company’s data for disciplinary write-ups of all 75 employees are provided in the table below. Hint: Review Week 4.

# write-ups in female employee files	# write-ups in male employee files
31	44

c) The statistical results, X² (1, n = 75) = 4.59, p < .05, indicate that the proportion holds for the number of disciplinary “write-ups” in employee files different from employee population. It appears that females (n = 31) are disproportionately over-represented in write-ups and males (n = 44) are under-represented.
