A researcher predicts that watching a film on institutionalization will change students attitudes about chronically mentally ill patients. The researcher randomly selects a class of 36 students, shows them the film, and gives them a questionnaire about their attitudes. The mean score on the questionnaire for these 36 students is 70. The score for people in general on this questionnaire is 75, with a standard deviation of 12. Using the five steps of hypothesis testing and the 5% significance level (i.e. alpha = .05), does showing the film change students attitudes towards the chronically mentally ill? What does it mean to set alpha at .05? What is your null hypothesis? Alternate hypothesis?
Assignment 2: Conducting a z-Test
A researcher predicts that watching a film on institutionalization will change students attitudes about chronically mentally ill patients. The researcher randomly selects a class of 36 students, shows them the film, and gives them a questionnaire about their attitudes. The mean score on the questionnaire for these 36 students is 70. The score for people in general on this questionnaire is 75, with a standard deviation of 12. Using the five steps of hypothesis testing and the 5% significance level (i.e. alpha = .05), does showing the film change students attitudes towards the chronically mentally ill?
What does it mean to set alpha at .05?
What is your null hypothesis? Alternate hypothesis?
Is this a one-tailed or two-tailed hypothesis?
What is the critical z?
Calculate the obtained z. Do you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
State in words what you have found.

Benita is a case manager at a senior center in a mid-sized city, which has seen substantial population losses due to the shutdown of industries that had long dominated the area. As a result, many of her clients lack local family and feel quite isolated. Whenever there are headlines about cutting Social Security, Benita gets panicked calls from clients, most of whom have only their monthly Social Security check to rely on for all of their expenses. Often, they know almost nothing about Social Security or how it is funded, what their rights are, or even what is being proposed. They are just frightened about losing what little money they receive each month and winding up homeless or worse. Benita sets out to learn more about Social Security and what is being proposed so she can educate her clients. What should Benita know about how the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program is funded? What should Benita know about the ability of the Trust Fund to sustain Social Security payments?

Incorporate information learned in your readings and at least one peer-reviewed* article from the library to support your conclusions. http://search.alexanderstreet.com.libproxy.edmc.edu/ediv/view/work/1666569
* Peer reviewed means an article from a reputable journal, which can be found in the library. Peer reviewed indicates that other professionals in the field have reviewed and deemed it worthy of publication, in contrast to much if what we find online: someone posting something they want, without someone else verifying that their methods were rigorous enough and the study is valid. If you must supplement from a website, do NOT use .coms. Instead, look for .org, .gov, and sometimes .edu for more reputable sources. Never use Wikipedia or about.com.

Create a culturally congruent plan for reduction of exceptionally high levels of type 2 diabetes among American Indians/Alaska Natives. As compared with whites, why do American Indians have higher levels of increased smoking, obesity, and sedentary lifestyles, which contribute to the type 2 diabetes rates? Why is the Indian Health Service an important part of health care that is historically “owed” to American Indians/Alaska Natives?
Addressing U.S. American Indians (Native Americans)/Alaska Natives and Diabetes
The mortality rate for American Indians, which includes Alaska Natives (Native Americans), has increased primarily because of the effects of type 2 diabetes. The Indian Health Service has provided the Special Diabetes Program for Indians, resulting in increased spending for health care; however, the rate for age-adjusted deaths has increased as compared with white Americans.
Infectious diseases are decreasing, while chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, are increasing in this population. Data collected were mainly from Navaho Indians living in the western part of the United States. Other major health issues include obesity, cardiovascular diseases, smoking, and hypertension. Also discussed was the high rate of sedentary lifestyles as compared with much greater daily physical activities historically.
Questions to be addressed in your paper:
Create a culturally congruent plan for reduction of exceptionally high levels of type 2 diabetes among American Indians/Alaska Natives.
As compared with whites, why do American Indians have higher levels of increased smoking, obesity, and sedentary lifestyles, which contribute to the type 2 diabetes rates?
Why is the Indian Health Service an important part of health care that is historically “owed” to American Indians/Alaska Natives?
