    SAS Homework 1

    Due: October 2 Friday

    1. Data file scores.txt contains character variable gender: (M or F) and four test scores (English,
    History, Math and Science) which are numeric. Read the data in SAS. Calculate average of four
    test scores and print first five observations by using PROC PRINT statement.
    2. Data file political.csv contains state, political party and age of candidates. Use PROC FREQ to
    count frequencies for Party. Test the hypothesis that the mean age of Democrat candidate is
    different than mean age of Republican candidates at 10% significance level.
    3.

    Data file employee.csv contains the following information:


    Variable

    Description

    Informat

    ID
    NAME
    Depart
    DateHire
    Salary

    Employee ID
    Employee Name
    Department
    Hire Date
    Yearly Salary

    $3.
    $20.
    $8.
    MMDDYY10.
    DOLLAR8.

    Use the list input to read the data from this file this is comma separated values. Need to use informats.
    Compute the frequencies for the department.

    4. Read the data file Hospital.dat. Descriptions of the variables are given below:
    Variable
    Id
    Dur_stay

    Column
    1-2

    Label
    id no.

    4-5

    Duration of hospital stay

    WBC

    Bact_cul

    22

    Sex 1=male/2=female
    First temperature following admission
    First WBC(x1000) following admission
    Received antibiotic 1=yes/2=no
    Received bacterial culture 1=yes/2=no

    Service

    24

    Service 1=med/2=surg.

    A. Use PROC TTEST to test hypothesis that mean duration of hospital stay is more for male than
    female.
    B. Create a new categorical variable AgeGr by dividing the age variable in two groups less than or
    equal to 35 is young and greater than 35 is old.
    Label the variables (Received antibiotic 1=yes/2=no)
    (Service 1=medical /2=surgical.)
    C. Construct two by two table of AgeGr variable and Antibio (received antibiotic) variable and test
    if age and taking antibiotic are related.
    D. Test if AgeGr is related to med/surgical service. [In both B and C use Chi-square test with PROC
    FREQ] write all four steps of testing hypotheses.

    5. Use SAS to verify examples in text book #7.30 and #7.31 (Power calculations.)
    6. Use SAS to verify example in text book #7.36 (Sample size determination.)
