ReplyDeleteYou have to try the question on your own, check and see what others have answered if that helps. Answers are not given on purpose, so that people will try to find the right answer.
ReplyDeleteSorry,but when you take the test, there is no SAS software provided. SO that is why someone need the specific explanation of the answer. If you do not know how it is worked by the theory, please do not show off. No offence.

ReplyDeleteIf you want 50.5 to be termed as a 'Pass' then use 1-<50 for 'Fail' and 50-100 for 'Pass'
Sakar;
ReplyDeleteWho ever said D, ask yourself where 50.5 fits? in fail or pass category?
I believe that as format score written here which is responsible for the result 50.5. As when we format any statement we mention format profit dollar 9.2.
ReplyDeleteD
ReplyDeleteThe correct answer is C, just run the program;
ReplyDeleteproc format;
value score
1 - 50 = 'Fail'
51 - 100 = 'Pass';
run;
data courses;
input exam;
cards;
50.5
;
run;
proc report data = work.courses nowd;
column exam;
define exam / display format = score.;
run;
Answer C:
ReplyDeletethe program does not show any user defined format for 50.5. Therefore that value will just stay as is.
Answer C
ReplyDeletedata courses;
input Name $ Exam;
datalines;
Blank 50.5
test1 54
test2 48
;
proc format;
value score 1 - 50 = 'Fail'
51 - 100 = 'Pass';
run;
proc report data = work.courses nowd;
column exam;
define exam / display format = score.;
run;
When a format does not apply to a value, the value remains the same. no change happens to variable Exam and hence the value will be 50.5
