Which PROC MEANS step generates the report below?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The correct syntax for generating the mean and standard deviation for specified variables using PROC MEANS is shown in option A. The PROC MEANS statement specifies the dataset to analyze (data=class) and includes the options (mean std) directly in the PROC statement. The VAR statement then lists the variables for which the statistics should be calculated (Height and Weight). The other options listed in B, C, and D are not correct syntax for PROC MEANS.

I feel like the answer might be B, but I’m confused about the syntax for specifying mean and std. I thought they were just options in the PROC MEANS statement.

Option A looks familiar since it has the correct syntax for specifying the variables, but I’m not completely confident about the output it generates.

I remember practicing a question where we had to specify statistics like mean and std, but I can't recall if it was in the VAR statement or elsewhere.

I think the PROC MEANS step should include the variables directly in the VAR statement, but I'm not sure which option does that correctly.

I don’t recall seeing option D in our practice, but it doesn’t seem to follow the usual PROC MEANS structure, so I’m leaning away from it.

I'm a bit confused about option C; it seems like it’s missing the calculations for mean and std, which makes me doubt it.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I feel like option B might be the right choice since it explicitly mentions mean and std.
