80% Rule 4 80% Rule 4 Measures the difference between the success of the most favored group and each other group. 4 Expresses differences as a percent (%).

Example of 80% Rule 4 GROUP Referral Rate PY White Male Benchmark Group (71.8 X.80) = White Female 56.5* - Disproportionately low 4 African Amer. Male 60.2 – Within.80% 4 African Amer. Female 55.0* - Disproportionately low 4 Hispanic Male Within.80% 4 Hispanic Female 57.0* - Disproportionately low

PLACEMENT RATE 4 Out of 100 White applicants, 40 are hired. –.4 OR 40% 4 Out of 50 Black applicants, 15 are hired. –.3 OR 30% 4 Out of 25 Hispanic applicants, 5 are hired. –.2 OR 20%

APPLYING 80% RULE 4 Black acceptance rate/White acceptance rate =.3/.4 =.75 or 75% 4 Hispanic acceptance rate/White acceptance rate =.2/.4 =.5 or 50%

ADVANTAGES 4 The 80% Rule has one great advantage over tests of statistical significance such as standard deviation- it is much simpler. Unlike tests of statistical significance, there is only one formula and it is always used the same way.

There are some disadvantages. 4 First it is imprecise. The 80% Rule always allows for a 20% variance between the most favored rate and the rate of others to which this rate is compared, regardless of the number of individuals in the total pool. 4 In other words, the 80% Rule is insensitive to numbers. When there are few individuals in the total pool, a difference of 20% between groups may not be statistically significant.

Standard Deviation 4 Standard Deviation: 4 The standard deviation is a measurement of how spread out your data is. 4 Measures the difference between what is observed and what is expected. 4 Expresses’ differences in units (deviations) from what is expected. 4 Sensitive to numbers.
