After being rejected for employment, Kim Kelly learns that the Bellevue Credit Company has hired only five
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 five or fewer
women when 17 people are hired, assuming that there is no discrimination based on gender.
(Report answer accurate to 8 decimal places).
P(at most five) =
Because this is a serious claim, we will use a stricter cutoff value for unusual events. We will use 0.5% as
