Default how to tell if 3 prong plug AC uses is grounded


We have an admiral AC unit. It's pluged into a 3 prong wall socket
plug. I assumed the wall socket was grounded as it is 3 prong, but the
manual says have an electrician very that. My mother is an old widow
and doesn't have alot of money. Is there a way I can determine this ?
The unit resets itself after a couple of days, that is it shuts off,
the green light on the plug turns off and you have to hit the test and
reset switch if I recall correctly, then it makes a noise and the green
light is back on and you can run the unit. The test and reset switchs
are on the plug that goes into the wall socket. It seems to trip when
it's not running. She has been using it since last summer and it seems
to work fine otherwise. The manual however seems to indicate it
shouldn't trip.
