Making Selection Decisions

Marvin Albert is the new police chief for Holyfield, Georgia. As part of his plan to "take a bite out of crime," all police applicants will be administered the Comprehensive Personality Inventory (COPS). The test has good reliability (.90) and taps an individual's level of conscientiousness. If possible, the chief would like to increase the number of Hispanic officers on the force. According to the test manual, the COPS has a mean score of 85.6, a standard deviation of 7.30, and a suggested passing score of 80. Chief Albert needs to hire four new officers. On the basis of the data from the table, answer the following questions.

If you were to use a top-down approach to hiring, which four people would be hired?

Using the four-fifths rule, would there be adverse impact using top-down selection? Show your calculations.

What would the standard error be?

What would be the width of the band?

Which four applicants would you hire if you used a fixed band?

Which four applicants would you hire if you used a sliding band?
