Part A

The table below lists customer/car hires data. Each customer may hire cars from various outlets throughout Singapore. A car is registered at a particular outlet and can be hired out to a customer on a given date.

Instructions:

1. The data in the table is susceptible to update anomalies. Provide examples of how insertion, deletion, and modification anomalies could occur on this table.
2. Describe and illustrate the process of normalization by converting Table 1 to Third Normal Form (3NF) relations. Identify the primary and foreign keys in your 3NF relations.

Part B

The following tables form part of a database held in a Relational Database Management System for a printing company that handles printing jobs for book publishers:

Publisher                        (pubID, pubName, street, city, postcode, telNo, creditCode)

              BookJob                          (jobID, pubID, jobDate, description, jobType)

              PurchaseOrder               (jobID, poID, poDate)

              POItem                            (jobID, poID, itemID, quantity)

              Item                                  (itemID, description, onHand, price)

Where:

Publisher                          contains publisher details and pubID is the key.

BookJob                            contains details of the printing jobs (books or part books) and jobID is the key.

PurchaseOrder                 A printing job requires the use of materials, such as paper and ink, which are assigned to a job via purchase orders. This table contains details of the purchase orders for each job and the key is jobID/poID. Each printing job may have several purchase orders assigned to it.

POItem                              Each purchase order (PO) may contain several PO items. This table contains details of the PO items and jobID/poID/itemID form the key.

Item                                   contains details of the materials which appear in POItem, and the key is itemID.

Instructions:

Formulate the following queries using SQL:

(i)                         List all publishers in alphabetical order of name.

(ii)                        List all printing jobs for the publisher ‘Gold Press’.

(iii)                      List the names and phone numbers of all publisher who have a rush job (jobType = ‘R’).

(iv)                       List the dates of all the purchase orders for the publisher ‘PressMan’.

(v)                        How many publisher fall into each credit code category?

(vi)                       List all job type’s with at least three printing jobs.

(vii)                     List the average price of all items.

(viii) List all items with a price below the average price of an item.

Write a program compare.cpp that asks the user to input two dates (the beginning and the end of the interval). The program should check each day in the interval and report which basin had higher elevation on that day by printing “East” or “West”, or print “Equal” if both basins are at the same level.

Example:

$ ./compare
Enter starting date: 09/13/2018
Enter ending date: 09/17/2018

09/13/2018 West
09/14/2018 West
09/15/2018 West
09/16/2018 West
09/17/2018 West

Explanation:

In this assignment, you must use the MySQL Command Line Client Window.

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING.
• Install MySQL Server if you haven't done it yet. Some instructions are posted here: MySQL
• You'll need to take screen shots throughout the assignment (more details below).
• You may change the properties of your MySQL Command Line window by right-clicking on the title bar (or the icon on the upper left corner of the window), and selecting the Defaults menu.
  • This will allow you change the size and color of the window and the fonts.
  • You should increase the screen buffer size (height), in the Layout tab, to allow you to keep more lines available to review (when you scroll up).
  • The Command History buffer size, in the Options tab, is not the same as the above. It is the number of commands available when you use the up and down arrow keys to review previous commands. You may increase that too.
  • Remember that the command history is gone when you close the MySQL Command Line Client window. Your databases and tables are saved and will still be there when you log in again.  

Perform all the following steps in order. Some steps are repeated on purpose.

Open the MySQL Command Line Client.

1. The first query you must do, before creating the database is:

SELECT NOW();

2. Create a database named 'school'.

• The 'school' database will have the following tables:

student (student_id, first_name, last_name, dob, home_street, home_city, home_state, home_zip)

faculty (employee_id, first_name, last_name, dept_id)

department (dept_id, dept_name, building_code)

• You do not need to specify primary or foreign keys yet.

• Choose appropriate data types and sizes for the fields.

• Make sure the fields student_id and last_name do not allow NULL values. Other fields should allow NULL values.

3. Create the above tables.

4. Load fictitious data into your tables:

• The student table should have at least 10 records. You should have 5 students with Tampa as their home_city. Other students should reside in other cities of your choice.

• The faculty table should have at least 5 records.

• The department table should have at least 3 records. The field building_code is a 3 letter code that identifies the location of the department, such as ENB, CPR...

• You should make up your own data (do not use data from another student).

5. Write (and run) SQL queries to:

• Show all existing databases in your RDBMS.

• Show the tables in the 'school' database.

• Show the structure of each table in the 'school' database.

• Show all the data in each of the three tables in the 'school' database.

• Show only the first name and last name of all the faculty.

• Show only the first name, last name and home city of all the students who live in Tampa.

6. The last query you must do, after everything is done is:

SELECT NOW();

• All of the above steps must be done in the MySQL Command Line Client.
• You must take screen shots of the above commands AND results (showing in your command-line client window). It is okay to include any errors you made along the way.
  • You may use the 'Snipping Tool' or 'Snip and Sketch' (on Windows) , or 'Grab' (on MacOS), or see here for other options: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/  (Links to an external site.).
  • Please avoid taking pictures of the screen with a camera/phone as it can be very hard to read (blurry/glare/small), and more time-consuming for you than the above tools.

1. Calculate relative frequencies for; Overall Type of Calls, Call Quality and Call Errors.
2. Calculate the following probabilities:
   • CLM Error and AM Shift
   • COV Error and PM Shift
   • SAV Error or AM Shift
   • Given that the call comes in the morning, what is the probability of a CLM Error
3. NARRATIVE: Based upon the probabilities in step 2, which error(s) should the company focus on for improvement? Should they direct their attention to a particular shift?
4. If a sample size of 15 is used and we assume calls are either correct we can model the call quality using a binomial distribution. Based upon the probability of an error (provided in the Quality Summary under Call Quality), predict the probability of:
   • Exactly 0 errors occurring in 15 calls
   • Less than 2 errors occurring in 15 calls
   • 5 or more errors occurring in 15 calls
5. Provide Descriptive Statistics for Call Time to include; Mean, Standard Deviation and the 5-number summary.
6. Using the Call Time Mean and Standard Deviation from the Quality Sample, find the probability of a call time less than 7 minutes, between 7 and 9 minutes, and greater than 9 minutes.
7. NARRATIVE: From past research the company knows that customers expect to have their calls handled without error and within approximately 7.5 minutes on the phone. Use the information from steps 4-6 to evaluate how well the company is meeting these expectations.

1. Female labor force participation (LFP) tends to be markedly lower in the MENA region when compared to other world regions. Some scholars have claimed that this phenomenon can be traced to the traditional culture and/or the dominant religion (i.e., Islam) in the region. Others attribute the outcome to the presence large natural resource rents.

What is the theoretical argument why natural resource rents may reduce female LFP? Who has present empirical evidence in favor of this hypothesis?
