SAS A00-470 Sample Questions:

01. An insurance analyst wants to use the same Policy_Type column both as a filter category on one visualization and, separately, converted to a count-based measure on another visualization showing the number of policies per type.
What is the correct way to achieve this in SAS Visual Analytics?
a) Load the source table into the report a second time so each visualization references its own separate copy of Policy_Type, doubling the data connections instead of reusing the existing one under a new role.
b) Add Policy_Type to the data pane a second time and classify the second copy as a count-based measure, keeping the first copy as a category for filtering.
c) Build a custom category that merges Policy_Type values into fewer buckets before counting them.
d) Avoid adding Policy_Type a second time, since a repeated data item is treated as an error.
 
02. A marketing analyst adds a new data item to a campaign-performance report in SAS Visual Analytics by dividing the Spend value by the Clicks value for each row in the source table, producing a cost-per-click figure for every individual campaign record. When the analyst drags this new item onto a crosstab and totals it across all campaigns, the grand total looks like an average of averages rather than overall spend divided by overall clicks.
What most likely explains this behavior?
a) The item was classified as a category instead of a measure, which would keep it out of any aggregation and prevent the crosstab from computing or displaying a total for it in the first place.
b) The item was built as an aggregated measure, which divides the totals of the underlying spend and click columns rather than computing a value per row.
c) The item was built as a calculated item, evaluated row by row before aggregation, so the total reflects each row's individual result rather than the summed spend divided by the summed clicks.
d) The crosstab is applying a rank to the item, which changes which campaigns are displayed rather than how the value is computed.
 
03. In SAS Visual Analytics, an author wants report viewers to be able to interactively choose a date range that controls objects across every page of the report, using a single visible on-screen control.
Which feature is designed for this purpose?
a) A parameter with no associated prompt
b) A page prompt
c) An object-level filter
d) A report prompt
 
04. An author of a bank risk report creates a calculated item that flags loans as high-risk whenever a risk score exceeds a stored threshold value. That threshold value is not tied to any on-screen interactive control; the author sets it once when building the calculated item.
What does this stored threshold value represent?
a) A parameter
b) A report prompt
c) A display rule
d) A page prompt
 
05. A box plot on a report shows a line inside each box marking the median value, with whiskers extending out to the typical range of the surrounding data.
What do the median line and whiskers on a box plot represent?
a) The order or sequence in which the plotted observations occurred.
b) A projection of where the values are likely headed in future periods.
c) Descriptive statistics summarizing the spread and center of the values.
d) A ranked list of which other data items are most associated with the plotted values.
 
06. At Coastal Hotels, a cluster analysis built on average length of stay, average nightly rate paid, and number of amenities used produces three clusters. One cluster shows a high average nightly rate, short stays, and heavy amenity use; another shows a low average rate, long stays, and light amenity use.
What do these two clusters most directly represent?
a) Two future projections of the same guest segment over time, produced because a forecast object was mistakenly layered onto the cluster analysis instead of being built separately.
b) Two distinct guest segments whose combination of stay length, rate, and amenity use differs meaningfully from one another.
c) The predicted outcome of a decision tree built on guest revenue.
d) A single guest segment that was accidentally duplicated in the data.
 
07. A freight logistics company's operations report needs to show where delivery delays are concentrated across the states its trucks service, so regional managers can see which states cluster together geographically.
Which report object best supports this geographic goal?
a) Bar chart
b) Crosstab
c) Key value
d) Geo map
 
08. What do statistics added directly to a visualization, such as a reference line marking an average, provide to a viewer?
a) A descriptive summary value, such as a mean or median, shown alongside the data it summarizes.
b) A grouping of observations into segments based on their similarity across several chosen measures.
c) A ranked list of the data items most associated with a single selected value.
d) A projection of future values extended forward from a historical time-based pattern.
 
09. An analyst at Lakeside Credit Union builds a decision tree using loan-default status as the outcome, but includes only the applicant's home state as a predictor. The resulting tree produces very shallow, weak splits that barely separate defaulters from non-defaulters.
What is the most likely explanation?
a) A report-level filter is suppressing most of the default records from the tree.
b) A decision tree treats a category with many distinct values as noise, so using home state as the only predictor caused the tool to drop it and split on record order instead.
c) A single, weakly related predictor gives the tree little to split on, limiting how well it can separate the outcome.
d) The outcome data item was classified as a measure instead of a category.
 
10. Before a hospital analyst can add data items such as Department_Name or Admission_Count to a new report in SAS Visual Analytics, which step must happen first?
a) A custom category must be created to regroup the department and admission columns into new buckets before those columns can be recognized as data items in the report.
b) A display rule must be authored to recolor the future report.
c) A rank must be applied to determine which rows will load.
d) A data source must be added to the report so its columns become available as data items.
