This assignment is worth a total of 60 points.
• Content: point values vary but are indicated in the template and total 45 points.
• Format: point values vary but are indicated in the template for 10 pts. The remaining 5
pts are for placing answers in the correctly designated spots within the template in a
clear and easy to read format (e.g., all fit within the visible screen on the page);
demonstrating competency in written expression/grammar, spelling, and punctuation;
and uploading the template in an approved format (word or PDF). Thus, the maximum is
15 points for format.
According to statistics reported by the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI), 17% of
U.S. youth aged 6 – 17 experience a mental health disorder each year. You access data from
15 private Christian schools, shown in the table below. These numbers represent the
percentage of students who had a mental health disorder diagnosis within the last year. You
want to know if youth attending these private Christian schools suffer from mental health
disorders at a different rate than the larger US youth population.

1. Based on this scenario, what is the research hypothesis. Is it one or two-tailed? What
information did you use from the scenario to determine this? 5 pts content
For this particular scenario, there is no clear research hypothesis stated – only that the end
goal is to understand if students in private Christian schools suffer from mental health
disorder at a different rate than those in public schools. This would make this two-tailed as
what is being determined is the difference in rates of mental health disorders between two
separate types of schools – private vs. public.
2. Create a histogram of the Christian school data. Present it as Figure 1, making sure to
include all required components for an APA formatted Figure (including a Title and Note).
