Also refer to the rubric for an indication of the standards required to achieve full marks. This report must include an appendix where you will copy all SAS code as text (not an image). Word limit: 1,500 words in total (of the main body text only. All tables, appendices and main titles excluded). (Report = 15 marks) Submission Submit your report in a Microsoft Word Document or a PDF file, to Canvas, this will automatically be assessed by Turnitin for plagiarism. Work that is not your own will be penalised and may result in a zero mark and disciplinary action. Ensure you check the report file has uploaded correctly and is visible in Canvas. Incorrectly submitted assignments will not be marked. Late submissions will incur a 10% deduction of total available marks each day, up until 5 days late when the assignment will receive a score of zero. If you are having difficulty with completing on time, make contact with Alice early to get help and advice. Do not discuss any part of this assessment with anyone else. Tasks On Canvas you will find six files, a mix of csv, txt and SAS formatted files. This information has been modified from data sourced from www.ncdc.noaa.gov. The files contain information on storm Events for 2019. See the image on the last page for guidance on the relationship between the tables. A data dictionary has also been provided on Canvas. Use this information complete the following Tasks using SAS coding, with the goal of exploring the following: Question: What impact did storm events have in 2019? To assist you in answering this research question, you will need to complete at least the tasks listed on the following page using SAS code: 1. Read the data into SAS using a data step or using a libref where appropriate. Ensure variables are formatted accordingly where required. (Note you only need to include your code in the appendix for this step, it is not required in the results section). (2.5 marks) 2. Produce an output that compares the number of fatalities (and overall percentage of fatalities) based on the “fatality location” and whether it was a direct or indirect fatality. Show the location as either Indoor, Outdoor, Water Related, Vehicle/Equip related or Other. (1.5 marks) 3. Produce a bar graph that shows the total number of injuries for each month (that allows you to compare direct and indirect) for each month. Ensure the graph is clearly labelled and has an informative title. (2.5 marks) 4. Use a t test to determine whether there is a difference in the average value of damage to property based on the Enhanced Fujita Scale of Tornado between the categories EF0 and EF1. Use α=0.01. (1.5 marks) 5. Include any other relevant analysis of this data (only) to assist you to understand the impact storm events had in 2019. (7 marks) General requirements. All solutions must be prepared with SAS Code. Units should be converted to metric where used. All outputs need to be clearly labelled and detailed enough to be understood without having to read the main body of the report.
