To solve this problem, let's carefully consider the given information and the options provided.
We know that:
- 15 percent of the population in the United States seeks therapy.
Our goal is to determine what percentage of this 15 percent may have a diagnosis. We need to select the best answer from the choices provided, which are:
A. more than 60 percent
B. between 25 and 50 percent
C. less than 5 percent
D. between 5 and 10 percent
Given the choices and considering the data, if we analyze the likelihood of having a diagnosis among those in therapy, we need to look for a reasonable estimate. Given the choices and background knowledge, the percentage that may have a diagnosis in a therapy-seeking population is likely to fall within a certain range.
Carefully considering these factors:
- Option A suggests more than 60 percent - this seems relatively high.
- Option B states between 25 and 50 percent - this is also somewhat high given the context.
- Option C states less than 5 percent - this appears too low for individuals who are already seeking therapy.
- Option D states between 5 and 10 percent - this range seems to be the most reasonable.
After analyzing the choices and the given context, Option D ("between 5 and 10 percent") is the best answer. This percentage is neither too high nor too low, making it a plausible estimation for the percentage of therapy seekers that may have a diagnosis. Therefore, the correct answer is:
D. between 5 and 10 percent
