d) State the results in APA format (numbers and words) and don’t forget to include all parts in the sentence and the direction of the results. A health psychologist wanted to test if discussing the health disparities of a patient with their family would help the family deal with loss better after the patient passes from the disease. They took a survey from n=20 people and had them rate their feelings on a survey that had a rating of 1-100 where 1=total despair to 100= felt a sense of well being with the experience. They wanted to test a sample they collected from their local hospital and compare it with the national averages, which was µ=40 points and includes the population standard deviation of =70 points. The following are the raw scores from their survey: 35, 47, 78, 64, 89, 38, 55, 48, 65, 52, 72, 25, 34, 55, 52, 66, 80, 75, 54, 50. They used an alpha level of α=.05 for their criteria. a) State the hypotheses of the study. H0=40 There isn’t any difference between the national average of the wellbeing score of 40 to the treated sample in the study. There is an increase of over a score of 40 of the wellbeing for the people that are treated in the study that is compared to the national average. b. Find the critical tvalue for this study One tail, df=19, t critical value is 1.729 c) Compute the one sample ttest M=56.7, final answer = 1.66 d) State the results in APA format (numbers and words) and don’t forget to include all parts in the sentence and the direction of the results.

a) State the hypotheses of the study.
H0=40
There isn’t any difference between the national average of the wellbeing score of 40 to the treated sample in the study.
There is an increase of over a score of 40 of the wellbeing for the people that are treated in the study that is compared to the national average.
b. Find the critical tvalue for this study
One tail, df=19, t critical value is 1.729
c) Compute the one sample ttest
M=56.7, final answer = 1.66
d) State the results in APA format (numbers and words) and don’t forget to include all parts in the sentence and the direction of the results.
