The SAS data set mylib.room has five variables (name, sex, age, height, and weight) and 19 observations (9 observations with sex='F' and 10 observations with sex='M').
Libname mylib 'C:\STA575\SASData';
Data work.female(drop=height) work.others(keep=name weight height);
Set mylib.room;
If sex='F' then output work.female;
Output work.others;
Run;

What is the input data set?
How many output data sets are being created?
How many variables are in work.female?
How many observations are in work.others?

Please help me to Answer the questions below

Give us you answers (and why you think they are the right answers) and we can confirm them or explain why they are not right.

If you want to try running the code yourself just change mylib.room to sashelp.class and run it in any SAS session.

I assume they assigned you something to read (or watch) so you should know something about SAS by now.

And even you don't you can still just read the code as if it was English and take a wild-a**-guess at some of the questions. Don't worry about being wrong, we aren't going to grade you.

Please do not try lying to us. Since you were able to write the code posted here, you DO have SAS knowledge.
