IN SAS:

  1. The local school district wants to survey all sixth-grade students and their school aged siblings. There are three surveys to do: one for the sixth graders, one for their younger siblings, and one for their older siblings. You are to help the district office to administer the survey. The school district has data on the students to facilitate the survey. The SAS data set called SCHOOLSURVEY contains data for all sixth graders in the three middle schools in the district (Rachael Carson, Green Valley, and Redwood Grove), and also data for all their siblings attending schools in the district, which can be linked back to the sixth grader by Family_ID. (Note: sixth grade is in the middle school for most schools in the US).

a. Examine this SAS data set including the variable labels and attributes. Add a comment to your program that notes the sort order of the variables in this data set.

b. Create a data set that has one observation for each sixth grader.

The Floyd School of Vocational Technology has organized the school training programs into three departments. Each department provides training in a different area as follows: nursing assistant, dental hygiene, and office technology. The school’s owner, Joyce Floyd, wants to know how much it costs to operate each of the three departments. To accumulate the total cost for each department, the accountant has identified several indirect costs that must be allocated to each. These costs are $15,000 of phone expense, $24,000 of office supplies, $720,000 of office rent, $144,000 of janitorial services, and $150,000 of salary paid to the dean of students. To provide a reasonably accurate allocation of costs, the accountant has identified several possible cost drivers. These drivers and their association with each department follow.

Cost Driver Nursing Dental Technology
Number of telephones 20 30 50
Number of faculty members 20 16 24
Square footage of office space 14,000 8,000 14,000

a) What is the amount of telephone expense that should be allocated to the Dental department?

b) What is the amount of supplies expense allocated to the Technology department?

c) What is the amount of office rent for the Dental department?

d) What amount of janitorial services cost will be allocated to the Nursing department?

1. A school administrator sends out grade school students to sell boxes of candy to raise funds. Below is a selection of four students and the mean number of boxes they sold over a weekend. The administrator wants to calculate the average number of boxes sold across students, but wants to weight this by the number of nearby houses (because students with more houses nearby will sell more boxes). For these data, what is the weighted mean?

Case1.A high school senior to a school counselor: “My dad told me the other night that I looked relaxed. Well, that’s a joke. I don’t feel relaxed. There’s a lull right now, because of semester break, but next semester I’m signed up for two math courses, and math really rips me up. But I need it for science since I want to go into pre-med

Case 2. A 27-year-old Japanese American woman talking to a counselor about a relationship that has just ended (she speaks in a rather matter-of-fact voice): “About three weeks ago I came back from visiting my parents who live in Nevada and found a letter from my friend Gary. He said that he still loves me but that I’m just not the person for him. In the letter he thanked me for all the good times we had together these last three years. He asked me not to try to contact him because this would only make it more difficult for both of us. End of story. I guess I’ve let my world collapse. People at work have begun complaining about me. And I’ve been like a zombie most of the time.”

Case 3. A married Latino man, 25 years old, is talking to a counselor about trouble with his mother-in-law: “The way I see it, she is really trying to destroy our marriage. She’s so conniving. And she’s very clever. It’s hard to catch her in what she’s doing. You know, it’s rather subtle. Well, I’ve had it!
