Assuming that the company decides to hire 25 whites and 10 blacks, what can be inferred using the four-fifths rule? 0.5 < 0.8, this indicates that there is evidence of discrimination. The four-firths rule states that 80% of the group will belong to one section for the rate of the group. The other 20% will belong to another group.
