Assignment title: Management
Scenario
You are a new graduate at a social science and psychological sciences research institute. The
researchers have given you a dataset about mental health service providers in America for you to
analyse. You will be graded based on the rubric attached to these instructions.
The data set is from the National Mental Health Services Survey 2010, conducted by the United
States Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration, and Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality. The data is made
available by these organisations at: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/SAMHDA/studies/34945
Data Preparation
For the purpose of your report you must use SPSS to draw a random sample of 2000 of the 7338
observations. You will conduct your analysis on this sample of 2000. There are instructions on
the next page showing you how to do this.
You are required to produce the following five sets of analysis. Each item should be no
more than 1 page long.
1. Page 1 - Produce the relevant descriptive graph and table to summarise the MODE variable
(labelled Control: Completes by phone/mail/web). The MODE variable summarises the
different ways that each institution completed the survey. Write a paragraph explaining the
key features of the data observed through the output.
2. Page 2 - Produce the relevant descriptive graph and table to summarise the OPSEXTOTM
variable (labelled QB5b_num_mal. Male outpatients – Total). This variable measures the
total number of male outpatients at each institution. Write a paragraph explaining the key
features of the data observed through the output
3. Page 3 – Previous research has suggested that more than 5% of all institutions are affiliated
to a religious organisation. Conduct a binomial test using the RELIGIOUS variable (labelled
QA8 Facility is affiliated with a religious organization) to test this claim. Provide the relevant
output and write the report for your test in the style presented in the course materials.2

4. Page 4 – Previous research has suggested that the average number of female outpatients in
these institutions is about 200. Use a one-sample t-test on the OPSEXTOTF variable
(labelled QB5b_num_fem. Female outpatients – Total) to test whether the average number
of female outpatients is different from 200. Provide the relevant output and write the report
for your test in the style presented in the course materials.
5. Page 5 - The researchers want to test if there is a difference between the average number of
male outpatients (the OPSEXTOTM variable labelled QB5b_num_mal. Male outpatients –
Total) in religious affiliated organisations compared to non-religious affiliated organisations.
The RELIGIOUS variable (labelled QA8 Facility is affiliated with a religious organization)
identifies if an organisation is religiously affiliated or not. Use the independent samples t-test
to test this claim. Provide the relevant output and write the report for your test in the style
presented in the course materials
