• finding sample of three to seven is too small to establish disparate impact
• noting, “even where the Four-Fifths Rule is violated, differences in the selection rates may not constitute an adverse impact where the sample size is too small to be statistically significant”
• conduct sufficiently severe or pervasive to create a submissible hostile work environment claim
• “[C]redibility determinations fall within the fact finder’s purview, not ours.”
• while recognizing the four-fifths rule as a means to indicate an adverse impact, the court further held that even where the four-fifths rule is violated, “differences in selection rates may not constitute an adverse impact where the sample size is too small to be statistically significant.”
