Compare and contrast the four-fifths rule and the standard deviation rule.

What will be an ideal response?


The four-fifths rule states that a test has disparate impact if the hiring rate for the minority group is less than four-fifths (80 percent) of the hiring rate for the majority group. The standard deviation rule uses actual probability distributions to determine adverse impact. This analysis uses the difference between the expected representation (or hiring rates) for minority groups and the actual representation (or hiring rate) to determine whether the difference between these two values is greater than would occur by chance.
