Values for categorical variables represent percent in each category. Values for female representation, time in rank, and age are variable means (standard deviations in parentheses).
a
Underrepresented minority encompasses African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American/Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, for which representation is too small to count separately.
b
Values for women and men for these variables differ significantly using Pearson's chi-squared tests (categorical) and two-sample t-tests (continuous). They do not differ significantly, however, from the population and are thus representative of the make-up of their respective categories.
