Question

According to the NIMH website the average number of adult Americans diagnosed with a “serious mental illness” across all 50 states in 2019 was μ = 5.2 out of 100 residents (or 5.2%).  Please test to see if the sample of states listed below (n=8) has a significantly higher level of mental illness than the population mean of 5.2.

Sample data: Arkansas= 5.45%, Montana=5.34%, Vermont=5.32%, Oregon=5.19%, Utah=5.2%, Ohio=5.13, Kentucky=5.25% West Virginia=5.18%.

Hint - drop the % signs and use 5.45, 5.32, etc as the X scores.  If you want you can use JASP for help with the calculations.  Use 3 decimal places for the M, s, SEM.

The alpha level for the study was set to α=.05.

 

a. State the hypotheses of the study.

b. Find the critical t value for this study
c. Compute the one-sample t test.


d. Compute the Cohen's d for the data (even if not significant)


e. State the results - is the sample significantly higher?  Do you reject the null hypothesis?   Report the t test results in APA format (include the numbers).
