Chapter 12, Problem 8HMP
The Warm and Toasty Heating Oil Company used to deliver heating oil by sending trucks that printed out a ticket with the number of gallons of oil delivered that was placed on customers’ doorsteps. Customers received their oil delivery bills in the mail two weeks later. The company recently revised its oil delivery and billing system so that oil truck drivers can calculate and print out a complete bill for each delivery and leave customers with the bill and a return envelope at the time the delivery takes place. Evaluate the business impact of the new system and the people and organizational changes required to implement the new technology.

A library wants to build a simple online recommendation system for a summer reading programme. The system involves people reading and recommending books and authors. • Readers (people) have a screen name as well as a real name and contact information, including an unknown number of phone numbers they can be contacted at. • Books have a title, ISBN, genre and reading level. • An author has a name and nationality. They can write zero or more books. • Assume that Books are written by only one author. • The database records what books a reader has read. • Readers can “like” books. • Readers can “like” authors independent of the books the author has written. Create a hand-drawn, conceptual entity relationship diagram (like the last lab, except that you’re including attributes) describing this circumstance for a database designer.
A rich uncle owns about a dozen classic automobiles. He keeps them in several garages around town and actually drives them for different events. At a recent family holiday get-together, he mentioned that he struggles to remember the maintenance schedules for all of the vehicles. He has records for all of the service work, including oil changes, tune-ups, and other repairs. But currently, they are just paper receipts and he needs a way to track and schedule the maintenance so that any of the cars will be available for use when he wants it. He also would like to plan his usage so that he doesn’t have to get all of the cars serviced at the same time. You suggested that it would be a good application for a database. Actually, you are really hoping he will let you borrow one of them for a date; but first you have to design the database.

- Many of Hoosier Burger’s customers work in the downtown area, so Bob and Thelma think a noon delivery service will offer additional convenience to their customers. Until a new system is implemented, the delivery service will be operated manually. Bob envisions the delivery system operating as follows. When a customer calls and places a delivery order, a Hoosier Burger employee records the order on a multiform order ticket. The employee captures such details as customer name, business or home address, phone number, order placement time, items ordered, and amount of sale. The multiform document is sent to the kitchen, where it is separated when the order is ready for delivery. Two copies accompany the order; a third copy is placed in a reconciliation box. When the order is prepared, the delivery person delivers the order to the customer, removes one order ticket from the food bag, collects payment for the order, and returns it to Hoosier Burger.

He determined that the net income would be $50,000. When he tallied the columns on the Balance Sheet, the totals were as follows: debit, $400,000; and credit, $300,000. What was the most likely reason for this discrepancy?

This means that a series of discounted rates can be offered to customers who use the service on a regular basis. The customer will pay fares based on the frequency they use the service (the number of journeys made in a month) and the number of miles traveled in the month. The Basic Charge (based on the total number of miles) is calculated according to the table below: Basic charges per mile ($): Up to 5 journeys Up to 10 journeys More than 10 journeys Up to 100 miles 1.00 0.85 0.70 Up to 250 miles 0.75 0.60 0.45 Over 250 miles 0.50 0.45 0.40 Note that the charges listed are per mile for the total number of miles traveled in the month.

- Medical records show a sample population of 1000 people, of those 1000 people, 98% do not have a terminal illness and 2% do have a terminal illness. A Health Insurance company would like try out a new cheaper test for terminal illness. Their results show that 98% of the people that do have a terminal illness test positive, while 1% of the people who do not have a terminal illness test positive for one. A corporation known as Ken’s Kids is concerned about patients that are slipping through the cracks with this new medical testing. If the new medical testing is adopted, what % of the people will be misdiagnosed as not having a terminal illness, but really have one? Assuming a population of 200 million people, how many people that have a terminal illness, given this new testing will never know that they do?

A more efficient approach is to choose between watching the movie and speaking with at least one trusted movie recommender friend. This approach will take a total of t hours.

- A company has several employees, all with different names, who perform interviews with job applicants (one applicant is interviewed by one employee). The job applicants also have different names. The interviewer makes appointments for interviews with the applicants. Each applicant may be interviewed at several occasions, possibly by different interviewers, but in that case the interviews take place during different days. The company has special interview rooms. Each interviewer uses the same room for all interviews during a day. A room may, however, be used by different interviewers during a day, as long as the interviews don't collide in time. The reservation of interview appointments is to be computerized. The database devel- oper has decided to use a single relation for all data, with the following schema: Interviews(interviewer, applicant, day, time, room) a) From the text, find functional dependencies in the relation. b) Find the keys of the relation. c) Show that the relation is…arrow_forwardshould use Lucidchart to draw the ERD.arrow_forwardFour high school friends (one was named Cathy) were about to go to college.
