A Case of Possible Discrimination?
Friday June 28, 2024 10:00am - 11:00am CDT
Mobile Bay Ballroom I
Media sometimes reports about claims of preferential treatment towards individual(s) or entities. Mathematicians/statisticians are often asked to look at data from situations where individual(s) believe discrimination has occurred. How do we know if discrimination has occurred in that situation? Using information from a well-known study, this hands-on activity will help attendees understand how to simulate a possible distribution of outcomes in such a situation, known as sampling distribution and then how to use this sampling distribution to determine the possibility of discrimination.
