Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
Program Plan Intro

E-R model:

  • It is a tool for creating data model.
  • It is used for developers to describe the content of data model by using two functions called entities and relationships.

Entity:

  • It helps the user for tracking something in database.
  • Example entities in student database system are Student, Grade, Course, etc.

Relationships:

  • Entities have relationships among each other.
  • For example, in student database, a Student has a relationship to Major and Student has a relationship to Advisor.

Attribute:

  • It used to describe the entity characteristics.
  • Example attributes of student entity is Student_id, Student_name, Student_address, etc.

Identifier:

  • It is an attribute or group of attribute, but its value is related with one and only one entity instance.

User:

The person or end user that can process the application that is stored in the database.

Database application:

A database application is a collection of four elements namely forms, reports, queries and application which acts as an intermediate between the user and data of the database

Database:

Database is a collection of information that is used to store and retrieve the data. Data is organized in tables.

Explanation of the E-R diagram:

  • Many user can use the database application.
    • Example of the user entity could be “students”, “faculty”.
  • Many database applications can be present in a single database.
    • Example of the database application could be “Bookstore”,”Library”.
  • Only one database can contain many database application.
    • Example of the database could be “studentDB”,”BookStoreDB”.
  • The relationship between the user and the database application is “M:N (Many to many )relationship.
  • The relationship between the database application and theDatbase is “N:1”(Many to One) relationship.

Analyze the charts and introduce each charts by describing each. Identify the patterns in the given data. And determine how are the data points are related.   Refer to the raw data (table):
3A) Generate a hash table for the following values: 11, 9, 6, 28, 19, 46, 34, 14. Assume the table size is 9 and the primary hash function is h(k) = k % 9. i) Hash table using quadratic probing ii) Hash table with a secondary hash function of h2(k) = 7- (k%7) 3B) Demonstrate with a suitable example, any three possible ways to remove the keys and yet maintaining the properties of a B-Tree. 3C) Differentiate between Greedy and Dynamic Programming.
What are the charts (with their title name) that could be use to illustrate the data? Please give picture examples.
