Dear users

How can I solve these two problems by SAS software.

1.   A normally distributed random variable has an unknown mean Pand a known variance V2= 9. Find
the sample size required to construct a 95 percent confidence interval on the mean, that has total width of
1.0. 

 

2. A new filtering device is installed in a chemical unit. Before its installation, a random sample
yielded the following information about the percentage of impurity: y1= 12.5, S12=101.17   (variance S1), and n1= 8.
After installation, a random sample yielded y2= 10.2, S22= 94.73  (variance S2)   , n2= 9.

(a) Can you concluded that the two variances are equal? Use D= 0.05.

(b) Has the filtering device reduced the percentage of impurity significantly? Use D= 0.05.

 

Best regards

1. PROC POWER

2. PROC ANOVA/TTEST but I'm not familiar with D, so thats something unique that your field is using.

What is ANOVA?

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
