hi,
i currently have an electric outlet w/o ground. i purchased a new
outlet w/ ground since the new appliance requires it but how do i
connect the ground on the new outlet?

There'll be a green screw near the end of the outlet. Connect the
ground wire to that. Also, if you're installing the outlet in a metal
box, that box MIGHT be grounded do you don't need the screw.
