SIMULATION

Scenario:

This project will use data setcert.input04. At any time, you may save your program asprogram04incert\programs. Write a SAS program that will create the data setresults.output04.

In this program, complete the following mathematical actions, in the following order:

Round VAR1 and VAR2 to the nearest integer values.

Multiply the rounded VAR1b y the rounded VAR2 and assign the new value to VAR3.

Add VAR12 through VAR19 (8 variables) together, ignoring missing values. Assign the sum to VAR20.

For observation 16, what is the value ofVAR20? Enter your numeric answer in the space below. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Save your program asprogram04.sasincert\programs before continuing with the next project

A3175

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

SAS code that could be used to solve this project:

data results.output04;

set cert.input04;

var3=round(var1,1)*round(var2,1);

var20=sum(of var12-var19);

run;

proc print data=results.output04 (obs=16 firstobs=16);

var var3 var20;

run;

If you got this question wrong because you didn't round to the nearest whole number, please know that the actual exam will restrict you to entering only a whole number to prevent this from occurring. The correct answer is: 3175
