In SAS code please.

Tennis balls are tested in a machine to show how many bounces they can withstand before they fail to bounce 30% of their dropping height. Two brands of balls (W and P) are compared. In addition, the effect of shelf life on these brands is tested. Half of the balls of each brand are 6 months old, the other half, fresh. Using a two-way analysis of variance, what conclusions can you reach? The data are shown below:

Brand W (New): 67 72 74 82 81

Brand P (New): 75 76 80 72 73

Brand W (Old): 46 44 45 51 43

Brand P (Old): 63 62 66 62 60

2. A marketing researcher has heard that when kids are anonymous, they'll take more candy. To test this hypothesis, she brings 6 kids into a specially-constructed Halloween Lab with two rooms. Each room is identically decorated and contains a decorated front porch, a front door, and a doorbell. Behind the door is a confederate who will answer the door and offer a bowl of candy. The two rooms differ only in their lighting conditions. One room is light; one room is dark, the latter presumably leading to greater anonymity. She says, ok kids, I want you to go into each room and interact with the person behind the door as you would normally interact during Halloween. Ring the doorbell, say trick or treat, and then take some candy. So, the kids do this and the researcher measures how many pieces of candy they take. The data are shown below. Do kids take more candy under conditions that make them feel anonymous? Use alpha = .10.

The Wall Street Journal reported that 33% of taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes between $30,000 and $60,000 itemized deductions on their federal income tax return. The mean amount of deductions for this population of taxpayers was $15,968. Assume that the standard deviation is $2,190. Use z-table.

a. What is the probability that a sample of taxpayers from this income group who have itemized deductions will show a sample mean within $184 of the population mean for each of the following sample sizes: 30, 50, 100, and 400? Round your answers to four decimals.

b. What is the advantage of a larger sample size when attempting to estimate the population mean? Round your answers to four decimals.

A larger sample (Select your answer -increases or decreases) the probability that the sample mean will be within a specified distance of the population mean. In the automobile insurance example, the probability of being within +/-184 of u ranges from (blank) for a sample of size 30, to (blank) for a sample of size 400.
