For each research question, describe in your MSWORD document the application of the seven steps of the hypothesis testing model.
Step 1: state the hypothesis (null and alternate)
Step 2: State your alpha (unless requested otherwise, this is always set to alpha = .05)
Step 3: collect the data (use one of the data sets).
Step 4: Calculate your statistic and p value (this is where you run spss and examine your output files).
Step 5: Retain or reject the null hypothesis. (This is where you report the results of your analyses t (df) = t value, p = sig. level).
Step 6: Assess the Risk of Type I and Type II Error (did the data meet the assumptions of the statistic; effect size; and sample size).
Step 7: State your results in APA style and format.
Application Assignments
Question 1: In Fall 07, the MHMR ran public service announcements advertising treatment resources for mental health, substance abuse and dual diagnoses (both). Does the distribution of pre-existing conditions (Mental health, Substance Abuse or Both) differ from what one would expect by chance?
1. Run a Chi Square Goodness-of-Fit using PreExisting Condition as the variable with "all categories equal".
2. Report the observed and expected values and the tests of statistical significance.
Question 2. The MHMR received data from the State indicated that MHMR facilities tend to attract more substance abuse cases than mental health or dual diagnosis clients. Does the distribution of clients (Mental health, Substance Abuse or Both) differ from the State data?
1. Run a Chi Square Goodness-of-Fit using Type of Treatment as the variable with "all categories unequal" with 12, 26, and 12 as the expected values.
2. Report the observed and expected values and the tests of statistical significance.
Question 3: The MHMR would like to know if there is a relationship between the Type of Patient and Court Ordered.
1. Run Chi Square Independence test (Crosstabs) using Newpatient in the rows and Court in the column.
2. Use the Chi Square and the Phi Coefficient to evaluate the relationship and statistical significance.
3. Report the observed and expected values and the tests of statistical significance.
