M2020-733 · Question #49

If you build an expression manually, as opposed to using a function (e.g., specify (V1+V2)/2 instead of MEAN (V1 , V2)), which statement is true?

The correct answer is C. If any of the variables used in the expression has a missing value, the result for that case is a system-missing. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.
