Using the file “sleep” (http://www.statsci.org/data/general/sleep.txt and http://www.statsci.org/data/general/sleep.html)

Please:

Calculate percentile (P84, P95, P97.5 and P99.85) and sigma limits (Mean + SD, Mean + 2*SD and Mean +3*SD) of total sleep by overall danger index before and after the 5% outliers removal, and comment on the observations.

You can use PROC UNIVARIATE for this:

It means the 84th, the 95th, the 97.5th and the 99.85th percentiles.

These are sample estimates. They estimate the values in the population for which 85%, 95%, etc, of the population values are less than the values. For example, if the 84th percentile is 12.3, that means that 84% of the population values are less than 12.3. If the 95th percentile is 15, that means that 95% of the population values are less than 15.
