*Question 1


1. A researcher suspects that the actual prevalence of depression among children and ado lescents is<br>higher than was previously reported. The previously reported prevalence for depression among children<br>and adolescents was 12.5%, and the researcher conducts a study to test the accuracy of the previously<br>reported prevalence of depression among children and adolescents by recruiting 100 total children or<br>adolescents and tests them for depression using the DSM-5. The researcher determines that the<br>prevalence of depression from the study is 12.9% and the standard deviation was 0.4. What should the<br>researcher's conclusion be for a 5% significance level?<br>A) We reject Ho at the 5% level because 10 is greater than 1.96. We do have statistically significant<br>evidence to show the actual prevalence of depression among children and adolescents is above the<br>previously reported prevalence of 12.5%<br>B) We fail to reject Ho at the 5% because -10 is less than 1.645. We do not have statistically significant<br>evidence to show the actual prevalence of depression among children and adolescents is above the<br>previously reported prevalence of 12.5%.<br>C) We fail to reject Ho at the 5% because -10 is less than 1.96. We do not have statistically significant<br>evidence to show the actual prevalence of depression among children and adolescents is above the<br>previously reported prevalence of 12.5%<br>D) We fail to reject Ho at the 5% because 10 is greater than -1.645. We do not have statistically<br>significant evidence to show the actual prevalence of depression among children and adolescents is<br>above the previously reported prevalence of 12.5%.<br>
