Question
- The website Data USA stated that in 2016, Texas had the lowest number of adults with a serious mental illness with an average of M=3.26% of the population affected. The state of Texas wants to test if they have a significantly decreased number of mental illness patients compared with the states with the (n=8) highest level of mental illness found. In 2016 the following states had the highest level of adult patients with mental illness: 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%. The alpha level for the study was set to α=.05 for the criteria.
- State the hypotheses of the study.
b. Find the critical tvalue for this study
c. Compute the one sample ttest
d. Compute the Cohen's d for the data
e. 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.
