Hi, I am new to SAS and wanted to get some feedback on a problem. I am only in Chapter 2 so I have a lot to learn still. I am stuck on a problem and need help to understand how the code should be formatted. I think my order of operations is off with the math portion causing errors. See below, for the scenario the book has listed and the code I entered. I appreciate any feedback! I don't want to get discouraged and give up but I don't have a teacher to explain these things to me either. PLEASE HELP! 2. Given the program here, add the necessary statements to compute four new variables: a. Weight in kilograms (1 kg=2.2 pounds). Name this variable WtKg. b. Height in centimeters (1 inch=2.54 cm). Name this variable HtCm. c. Average blood pressure (call it AveBP) equal to the diastolic blood pressure plus one-third the difference of the systolic blood pressure minus the diastolic blood pressure. d. A variable (call it HtPolynomial) equal to 2 times the height squared plus 1.5 times the height cubed. Code: data prob2; input ID$ Height /* in inches */ Weight /* in pounds */ SBP /* systolic BP */ DBP /* diastolic BP */; HtCm=1 inch = 2.54 cm; WtKg=1 kg = 2.2 pounds; AveBP=DBP+1/3(SBP-DBP); HtPolynomial=2*HtCm**+1.5*HtCm***; cards; 001 68 150 110 70 002 73 240 150 90 003 62 101 120 80 ; title 'listing of prob2'; proc print data=prob2; run;
