Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The four-fifths rule is a mathematical formula developed by EEOC to demonstrate disparate impact of a facially neutral employment practice on selection criterion. The rule was adopted prior to Watson and Wards and is stated in the Uniform Guidelines. The rule compares the selection rates for the various protected groups under Title VII. The rule states that a disparate impact will be demonstrated if the proportion of applicants from a protected group with the lowest selection rate is less than 80 percent of the selection rate of the group with the highest selection rate.
