A legal challenge was brought against an employer alleging that a job promotion test was racially biased. Of 48 blacks who took the test, only 26 passed, whereas of 259 whites, 206 passed (Connecticut v. Teal [457 US 440 (1982)] (after [Finkelstein and Levin]). (a) Is it believable this difference is due just to chance and that racial bias is not a factor? (b) What exactly is the difference in pass rates for blacks and whites on this test?
