Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 2, Problem 2.40E
A)
Explanation of Solution
Table of example of students, one who has three siblings and other has two siblings:
| StudentNumber | StudentName | SiblingName | Major |
| 10 | Nick Jones |
B)
Explanation of Solution
Candidate keys in the student relational table:
(StudentNumber,SiblingName) acts as candidate key for the Student Relational as using StudentNumber an...
C)
Explanation of Solution
Functional dependencies in the relation:
- StudentNumber-> (StudentName, Major)
- Here the composite attributes StudentName and Major are functionally dependent on the attribute StudentNumber.
- The attribute StudentNumber determines the composite attribute StudentName and Major...
D)
Explanation of Solution
Well-formed relation:
The relations that do meet the relational design criteria are well-formed relations.
- The relational Student table contains the functional dependencies: StudentNumber-> (StudentName, Major) and (StudentNumber, SiblingName) -> (StudentName, Major)...
E)
Explanation of Solution
4NF:
If in a relation there is no non-trivial multivalued dependency, other than a candidate key, the level of
4NF and set of well-formed relations:
A relational table is not a well formed relation if in the relation some attributes of the tuple are functionally dependent on a part of the composite primary key...
F)
Explanation of Solution
Divide the relation to form a set of well-formed relations:
Step-1: Break the student tuple into two relations: Student and StudentSibling.
Show the relations in each table:
STUDENT (StudentNumber, StudentName, Major) and STUDENT-SIBLING (StudentNumber, SiblingName)
- For StudentSibling relation, show the functional dependencies among relations:
- (StudentNumber, SiblingName) -> (StudentNumber)
Here, the attribute StudentNumber is functionally dependent on the composite attribute (StudentNumber, SiblingName).
The composite attribute (StudentNumber, SiblingName) determines the attribute StudentNumber.
(StudentNumber, SiblingName)->(SiblingName)
Here, the attribute SiblingName is functionally dependent on the composite attribute (StudentNumber, SiblingName).
The composite attribute (StudentNumber, SiblingName) determines the attribute StudentNumber.
Check the candidate keys for StudentSibling relation:
(StudentNumber,SiblingName) acts as a candidate key for the StudentSibling relation...

Background information: Imagine you are a consultant for a fictional company, FutureTech Innovations, which specializes in advanced technology products. The company is interested in improving its decision-making processes by leveraging Business Analytics (BA) and Management Support Systems (MSS).
Talk about how Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) could be used to analyze data from multiple perspectives at FutureTech. What dimensions (e.g., time, product, region) would be important, and how would OLAP enhance decision-making?
Talk about the role of data visualization in helping FutureTech understand business performance. What types of visualizations (e.g., dashboards, charts) would be useful, and how would they assist in interpreting data?
