"Database design" is the second phase in the database life cycle. This phase focuses on the design of the database model that will support an organisation’s operations and objectives. Explain key activities along with relevant examples in the context of designing a database to support the medical practice’s patient appointments system.  

Based on the definition of a transaction as “a logical unit of work that must be entirely completed or aborted; no intermediate states are accepted”, use a specific example to demonstrate why no intermediate states are accepted.

Several Gulf Coast states most notably Florida but also AL and TX have started artificial coral reef programs off of their coasts. From your knowledge of the structure of coral reefs and their requirements to establish describe what is involved in starting and artificial reef and given the bottom characteristics along the Gulf Coast why these steps are necessary. Also explain why states like Mass. Washington, and Maine have not started similar programs.

Write down the equation for the rate of entropy production, diS/dt, for the Bernoulli process 0⇄1 with states 0 and 1, forward rate constant w10 and reverse rate constant w01. Reformulate the equation to eliminate the summation of logarithmic terms. Use your final result to calculate the equilibrium distribution. What are the equilibrium probabilities of states 0 and 1 if w10=w01. Calculate the equilibrium entropy, S°, of the system for w10=w01. 6

Your assignment is to analyze the relationship between two sets of scores using the inferential statistical procedure of an independent two sample t-hypothesis test. Using StatCrunch SPSS, you must calculate and analyze both descriptive and inferential statistics data. The data collection in analysis for this final project is aligned with concepts learned during several weeks of this course.

The data you are being provided with relates to information collected pertaining to the current COVID-19 pandemic. You are being asked to analyze this “case” data derived from 3 states California, New York, and Washington state, each row within the states represent confirmed cases by 9 (n=9) counties. The data from each state identifies the actual number of confirmed COVID-19 cases as of late April 2020, your role as a behavioral research assistant is to analyze the data from your choice of only two of these states (choose and compare CA: to either NY or WA state) and demonstrate whether or not there is a statistical difference in the number of identified cases between your choice of two states. Critical elements or parts of this final project include knowledge of; descriptive statistics, the statistical cycle of inquiry (inferential set up), and inferential statistics.

In the energy level diagram shown below, the energy difference between States 3 and 4 is half the energy difference between states 2 and 3. An electron undergoes a transition (a quantum \"leap\") from State 4 to State 3 resulting in the emission of a photon having a wavelength of 660 nm. (Note: 1 nm = 10^-9 m.)

What is the frequency the emitted photon resulting from an electron making a transition from State 4 to State 3.

f_{4 to 3} =

What are the frequency and wavelength of a photon that is emitted when an electron makes a transition from State 4 to State 2?

f_{4 to 2} =

λ_{4 to 2} =

The energy difference between States 1 and 2 is five times the energy difference between States 3 and 4. What are the frequency and wavelength of a photon that is emitted when an electron makes a transition from State 4 to State 1?

f_{4 to 1} =

λ_{4 to 1} =

1. United Dairies, Inc., supplies milk to several independent grocers throughout Dade County, Florida. Managers at United Dairies want to develop a forecast of the number of half gallons of milk sold per week. Sales data for the past 12 weeks are:

1. Compute four-week and five-week moving averages for the time series.

1. 1. Compute the MSE for the four-week and five-week moving average forecasts.
   2. What appears to be the best number of weeks of past data (three, four, or five) to use in the moving average computation? The MSE for three weeks is 23527.78
2. Show the exponential smoothing forecasts using α = 0.1.
   1. Applying the MSE measure of forecast accuracy, would you prefer a smoothing constant of α=0.1 or α= 0.2 for the United Dairies sales time series?
   2. Are the results the same if you apply MAE as the measure of accuracy?
   3. What are the results if MAPE is used?

3.    Use exponential smoothing with a α = 0.4 to develop a forecast of demand for week 13. What is the resulting MSE?
