A researcher hypothesizes that undergraduate students who are satisfied with their lives will sleep less than those who are not satisfied. To test this hypothesis, she selects a sample of undergraduate students and asks them to maintain a “sleep log” (Drowsy, 1977), keeping track of the number of hours they sleep during each 24-hour period. These logs are maintained for two weeks. At the end of the two-week period, each participant completes the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Giggle & Smirk, 1969), a reliable, validated measure of general satisfaction with life.

 

These are the data the researcher obtained:

There are too many ties in table. You need FREQ statement.

I'm not sure what you are asking about SAS code, but I do have a question.

 

"A researcher hypothesizes... " implies there was a pre-specified hypothesis, which should include a description of the statistical test to be used. This information would have been required to determine the sample size when designing the study. Can you provide the name of the test?

Hi Norman 21,

 

We were provided with the summary and the table. The heading provided was Linear Regression. We had to use the information provided to answer various questions such as 1) What is the criterion variable; 2) What is the predictor variable, etc. All ther questions were based on Using SAS to conduct simple regression analysis.

Please post your question in the body. The subject line is like an email subject line - intended as a brief summary.

You may want to read a regression tutorial - I suggest the UCLA tutorials.

You should modify your MODEL starement.
The format is:

DEPENDENT = INDEPENDENT LIST;

Dear K. Sharp,

 

Once again thank you very much for your assistance, I do appreciate your help!

Hello K Sharp,

 

Unfortunately the output was not successful. I received an error message which states;

NOTE.: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors

199 proc reg data=want;
200 model lifesatisfaction = sleeptime / p r;
201 freq count;
202 output out=case2Out residual=resid1;
203 run;
204 quit;

Did you run PROC FREQ firstly to get that WANT table ?

Hi K sharp,

 

I ran the syntax that you changed and posted, namely,

You're missing a d at the start of your code (data vs ata) but other than that the code runs perfectly fine for me.

Hi Reeza,

 

The Reason why I am requesting assistance is because I have done extensive reading and research but somehow am missing one small thing that may be hampering my success. I am not expecting anyone to do my homework for me.
