| If you select people totally at random (no discrimination!) from the population of people with >130 IQ to work at Facebook and the sd for men in the general population is 11 IQ points instead of 10 for women, you'll wind up with a 70% male workforce at Facebook. | |
| Similarly if men had a mean IQ of 101 instead of 99 for women, Facebook would have a 66% male workforce. | |
| From R: | |
| women <- pnorm(130, mean = 100, sd = 10, lower.tail = FALSE) | |
| men <- pnorm(130, mean = 100, sd = 11, lower.tail = FALSE) | |
| scaling <- 100/(women+men) | |
| men * scaling | |
| [1] 70.28561 | |
| women * scaling | |
| [1] 29.71439 | |
| women <- pnorm(130, mean = 99, sd = 10, lower.tail = FALSE) | |
| men <- pnorm(130, mean = 101, sd = 10, lower.tail = FALSE) | |
| scaling <- 100/(women+men) | |
| men * scaling | |
| [1] 65.8503 | |
| women * scaling | |
| [1] 34.1497 |
