This document discusses the uses of PROC PRINT and PROC MEANS in SAS. PROC PRINT is used to print out and list the data values in a SAS data set. It allows you to specify titles, variable identifiers, and variables. PROC MEANS calculates descriptive statistics like means, standard deviations, minimum and maximum values from the data. You can specify which statistics to compute using options with PROC MEANS and list the variables to analyze. Both procedures end with a run statement and utilize semicolons after each statement.

– Mean
– Standard deviation
– Minimum score
