Question

Imagine the police department is considering installing an Ames room in their jail in order to test inmate perceptions and determine their sobriety levels. They asked for your evaluation; what is the BEST prediction you could offer? Using this technique will not be a good diagnostic tool because the hallucination affects people with mental disorders regardless of sobriety levels. Using this technique will not be a good diagnostic tool because sober inmates will actually underperform intoxicated inmates due to experience. Using this technique will not be a good diagnostic tool because inmates with mental disorders will perform better than sober inmates. Using this technique will not be a good diagnostic tool because the illusion affects everybody regardless of sobriety levels.

00:01 In this case, they tell us that as a counselor in a state prison, you are randomly selected 36 inmates.

00:06 So that's the size of the sample we're selecting n.

00:09 With diagnosed mental illness, to test if the inmates are likely to conform to prison rules compared to the 850 inmates overall.

00:19 So we are against the proposed new policy that places higher security in those with a mental illness.

00:38 The scale goes from 1 to 100 and with higher values indicating opposition.

00:45 For the whole prison, the mean is 46.

00:49 That's for the whole prison.

00:50 That's mu.

00:52 And those with mental illness, they scored 38.

00:55 The sample that we picked, that's the mean x.

00:58 On the scale with a standard deviation of the sample of x.

01:03 That would be s x.

01:05 So now in conducting a significant test with alpha 0 .05, what is our critical score? the critical score is the score above which we would reject the no hypothesis or we would accept a no hypothesis.
