1. Create a project named Insurance, with a diagram named Explore.
2. Create the data source, DEVELOP, in SAS Enterprise Miner. DEVELOP is in the directory c:\workshop\Practice.
3. Set the role of all variables to Input, with the exception of the Target variable, Ins (1= has insurance, 0= does not have insurance).
4. Set the measurement level for the Target variable, Ins, to Binary.
5. Ensure that Branch and Res are the only variables with the measurement level of Nominal.
6. All other variables should be set to Interval or Binary.
7. Make sure that the default sampling method is random and that the seed is 12345.
What is the mean credit card balance (CCBal) of the customers with a variable annuity?
