STAT 506—Homework 2
For most problems you will still need to access the data in the PRG1 folder. Use the libname statement we learned to
load this each time you work on your assignments. You may now call it ‘orion’ to be consistent with the SAS
materials. The lecture notes and homeworks will refer to ‘orion’ as the library.
I tried to bold the parts where I expect you to actually show me something in your homework solutions if it is not
obvious.
Do the following problems.
1. Subsetting Observations and Variables Using the WHERE and KEEP Statements
a. Retrieve and submit the starter program p105e01.
What is the variable name that contains gender values? ________________________________
What are the two possible gender values? ___________________________________________
b. Add a DATA step before the PROC PRINT step to read the data set orion.customer_dim to create a new
data set called Work.youngadult . Show your code for this part.
c. Modify the PROC PRINT step to refer to the new data set. Submit the program and confirm that
Work.youngadult was created with 77 observations and 11 variables. Show the log for this part.
