Not sure about that, I thought it was 70/30 for training.

Wait, is it really 60/40? That seems off.

I feel like Option C had the right syntax for creating training and validation sets, but I can't recall the exact details.

I’m a bit confused about the percentages. Did we cover how to specify both training and validation sets in one step?

I think Option B looks familiar; it might be the one that uses the STRATA statement for stratified sampling.

I remember we practiced a question about splitting data sets, but I’m not sure if it was specifically about stratification by county.

Okay, I think I've got a good plan for this. I'll use PROC SURVEYSELECT with the STRATA statement to handle the county stratification, and then set the SAMPRATE= option to 0.6 to get the 60% training set. The remaining 40% will be the validation set. Feels like a solid approach.

This seems straightforward enough. I'll just use the PROC SURVEYSELECT statement with the OUT= option to create the training and validation data sets, and then include the STRATA statement to split it up by county. Shouldn't be too hard to get the 60/40 split.

I'm a bit confused on how to handle the stratification part. Do I need to do some kind of grouping or sorting by county first before running the PROC SURVEYSELECT? I want to make sure I get the split right.

Okay, I think I've got a strategy for this. I'll use the PROC SURVEYSELECT statement to randomly select 60% of the observations for the training set, and then use the remaining 40% for the validation set. And I'll make sure to include the STRATA statement to split it up by county.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the SAS code carefully to make sure I get the 60/40 split right and account for the stratification by county.

This question seems straightforward - I think the Bulk API would be the best solution to align the Salesforce and finance system data.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to identify the one option that is not a valid reason for the error. I'll eliminate the options that make sense and select the one that doesn't fit.

I remember practicing questions about collusion in bidding, but the terminology can get confusing. Was "fictitious bidding" related to that?

I'm just hoping the answer isn't 'All of the Above' or 'None of the Above'. That would be too much of a plot twist, even for a SAS exam!
