Question-: How FREQ procedure can be used to determine the errors in the Data?

Answer: You can use the FREQ procedure which detects the invalid character and numeric values by looking values. You can use the FREQ procedure to identify any variables that were not given an expected value.



Question-: How does procedure means helps in finding the error in the data?

Answer: Using the MEANS procedure you can generate the summary statistics for a particular value and based on that statistics you can check whether the values are in range or not. Like if you get the max COURSEFEE around 700000 for Hadoop, it means something wrong. In the data, decimal is missed, actual value should be 7000.00 but that is an example of data entry error.
