Which PROC MEANS program creates the report below?
The PROC MEANS statement is used to compute descriptive statistics of data in SAS. Option A is the correct code to produce the report shown in the first image because of the following reasons:
data=sashelp.shoes specifies the dataset on which the procedure is to be performed.
sum mean specifies that the summary statistics should include the sum and mean of the variables.
var Sales; specifies that the variable Sales is the analysis variable for which the summary statistics are to be computed.
class Product; specifies that the procedure should classify results by unique values of the Product variable. This will produce separate statistics for each type of product, which aligns with the structure of the report provided in the image.
Options B, C, and D are incorrect for the following reasons:
B uses group instead of class, and group is not a valid statement in the context of PROC MEANS. Also, var Sale; is incorrect as the variable name is Sales.
C includes nobe; which is not a valid SAS option and seems to be a typo. The by statement is used for sorting data, not for classifying groups as class does.
D incorrectly uses sum Salad; and mean Sales; as separate statements and has an invalid use of by product; which is not needed here.

How many statements are In the program shown below?
In the provided program, there are six distinct SAS statements:
data FemaleStudents; - Data step beginning
set sashelp.Class; - Set statement
where Sex='F'; - Where statement
Classroom='Red Room'; - Assignment statement
run; - Run statement to execute the data step
title 'Female Students in Red Room'; - Title statement
Note that the proc print and the second run; statement are part of another PROC step to print the results and hence are not counted in this particular count. The final title; statement is used to clear the title setting and does not count as part of the program statements being asked about.

How many statements are in the following PROC PRINT step?
In the provided image of the SAS code for the PROC PRINT step, the following statements are present:
proc print data=sashelp.cars; - PROC PRINT step beginning
var Make Model MSRP MPG_City MPG_Highway Horsepower Weight; - VAR statement to specify variables to print
format Weight comma8.; - FORMAT statement to apply a format to a variable
The final run; statement which would be necessary to execute the PROC PRINT step is not visible in the image, but it can be inferred to be there since every PROC step must be ended with a run; or quit; statement.
Thus, there are four statements related to the PROC PRINT step.

Which LABEL statement has correct syntax?
In SAS, the correct syntax for assigning labels to variables is to use the LABEL statement within a DATA step or a PROC step. Labels are assigned to variables using the format variable='label'. The correct syntax for the LABEL statement is represented by option B.
Here's the breakdown:
FName='First Name' correctly assigns the label First Name to the variable FName.
LName='Last Name' correctly assigns the label Last Name to the variable LName.
Each variable and label pair is separated by a space, and the overall statement ends with a semicolon, which is the proper syntax for a LABEL statement in SAS.
Options A, C, and D are incorrect due to various syntax errors like the use of the wrong character for the apostrophe, missing apostrophes, incorrect punctuation, and in the case of option C, an incorrect conjunction 'and' which is not used in LABEL statements.
SAS 9.4 documentation for the LABEL statement: SAS Help Center: LABEL Statement
Which ODS EXCEL statement correctly creates an Excel using the ANALYSIS style?
The correct answer is A: Ods excel='c:\report.xlsx' style=analysis;. This syntax is correct for the ODS EXCEL statement in SAS, where you specify the path and filename, followed by the 'style' option to apply a specific style template to the output Excel file. The 'style=analysis' is used to set the output appearance according to the 'ANALYSIS' style template provided by SAS. Option B is syntactically incorrect and does not use the 'style' option correctly. Option C incorrectly places a slash which is not syntactically valid in this context, and Option D misses the equals sign and quotes which are necessary for correct syntax in SAS. Reference:
