A subtle form of racial discrimination in housing is "racial steering". Racial steering occurs when real estate agents show prospective buyers only homes in neighborhoods already dominated by that family's race. According to an article in Chance magazine, tenants at a large apartment complex recently filed a lawsuit alleging racial steering. The complex is divided into two parts, Section A and Section B. The plaintiffs claimed that white potential renters were steered to section A, while African Americans were steered to section B. This table displays the data that were presented in court to show the locations of recently rented apartments. White Black Total Section A 87 8 95 Section B 83 34 117 Total 170 42 212 We conclude that there is evidence of racial steering at the alpha = 0.05 significance level. TRUE/FALSE
