Format
You will write your answers on the question paper. The exam will be closed book and closed notes. You should bring a calculator (any kind is acceptable unless it has communications capability). Pencil is okay.
In addition to the question paper, you will get a packet of printouts, with the
formula sheet
on the front cover. You should print the formula sheet and use it when you study for the final exam.
There are 9 questions on 8 pages. The strictly non-SAS part is worth 42 points, and the SAS part (which has some Greek-letter questions) is worth 58 points. Most of the questions have several parts.
SAS
You will not write any SAS code on the final exam. Instead, you will answer questions based on my SAS programs and results. There will be five data sets, one of which you have seen before. To prepare for the final exam, familiarize yourself with the data sets and analyze them using methods from the course. Details are given in the
Final Assignment.
