• Read the group reports assigned in the Group Problem #1 Assignment. As a group, evaluate the report with a written 1/2 page critique, including a score ranging from 0 to 5.

2. Using the following data (similar to Problem 1.1, page 19 in the class text), read these data and compute an index score (as in part c of the problem). Construct a permanent set of formats for gender. Also construct a permanent SAS data set with the format names stored in the permanent SAS data set. Print a list of the ID and Index scores, along with the contents of your final data set, along with the contents of your permanent formats. Include a copy of your SAS program(s) in the appendix.
