We know that,
Observed value is represented by O which is given
and expected value is represented by E
So,
E1=9600920×8000=766.7
E2=96008680×8000=7233.3
E3=9600920×1600=153.3
E4=96008680×1600=1446.7
now,
Number ofFemale employeesNumber ofmale employeesTotal number ofemployees 766.7 153.3 920 7233.3 1446.7 8680 8000 1600 9600
Finally the table will be :

The degree of freedom =(R−1)(C−1)=(2−1)(2−1)=1
The critical value of χ2 at α=0.05 for 1 d.f. 3.84 (given in question)
Since the calculated value of χ2 that is χcal2= 9.60 is greater than the critical value of χ2 at α=0.05 for 1 d.f. that is (3.841), then the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted.
Hence we can say that there is a distinction is made in appointment on the basis of sex.
