In this assignment, you will use regular JavaScript and the Fetch API to read an external JSON data file from the server and then add the data from each student object into new rows in an existing HTML table.
This assignment is very similar to the Adding Rows to a Table assignment. The main difference is that you will:

Task 1.
For each table on the list, identify the functional dependencies. List the functional dependencies. Normalize the relations to BCNF. Then decide whether the resulting tables should be implemented in that form. If not, explain why. For each table, write the table name and write out the names, data types, and sizes of all the data items, Identify any constraints, using the conventions of the DBMS you will use for implementation. Write and execute SQL statements to create all the tables needed to implement the design.
Create indexes for foreign keys and any other columns that will be used most often for queries. Insert about five records in each table, preserving all constraints. Put in enough data to demonstrate how the database will function. Write SQL statements that will process five non-routine requests for information from the database just created. For each, write the request in English, followed by the corresponding SQL command. Create at least one trigger and write the code for it.

One of my recent papers examine important and timely
research questions using a field experiment approach in eBay
auctions: (i) Can merchandise return policy (MRP; liberalness in
the MRP) increase consumers’ willingness to pay? and (ii) is the
marginal impact of MRP diminishing? In this study we created three
brand new eBay seller profiles, all with zip-codes located within
five miles of each other in a college town in the U.S. The eBay
stores received exactly the same product description, pictures,
outbound shipping policies, etc. The only difference among the
three sellers was the extent of liberalness in the MRP and we chose
to operationalize MRP liberalness in terms of the time window
during which the customer is allowed to return the purchased
product. The most conservative MRP (Storefront 1 and 1a) involved a
15-day return window. According to trade publications, this return
condition is more conservative than retail-industry averages.
Storefront2 and 2a received a 30-day return window, which
corresponds closely with retail-industry averages. Finally,
Storefront3 and 3a received a 60-day return window, which is more
liberal than many retailers offer at this point. The other elements
of the return remained constant across the three storefronts.
Therefore, in terms of overall return-policy liberalness, it could
be argued that Storefront1/1a < Storefront 2/2a < Storefront
3/3a . It is important to note that it is very common in my data
that we observe a customer’s bidding behavior in several
auctions.
[Question] During the revision stage of the journal publication
process, one of reviewer’s comment was that the I may use a fixed
effects model to control for unobserved individual fixed effects.
Do you agree or disagree with the above statement? Please explain

Waterbury Insurance Company wants to study the relationship between the amount of fire damage and the distance between the burning house and the nearest fire station. This information will be used in setting rates for insurance coverage. For a sample of 30 claims for the last year, the director of the actuarial department determined the distance from the fire station (x) and the amount of fire damage, in thousands of dollars (y). The MegaStat output is reported below.

Many drivers of cars that can run on regular gas actually buy premium in the belief that they will get better gas mileage. To determine if there is evidence to support this claim, 10 cars were used in a company fleet in which all of the cars ran on regular gas. Each car was filled first with either regular or premium gasoline, decided by a coin toss, and the mileage was recorded for a tank full. Then, the mileage was recorded again for the same cars for a tank full of the other kind of gasoline. The results are listed below in miles per gallon: Car # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Regular 16 20 21 22 23 22 27 25 27 28 Premium 19 20 24 19 25 25 26 26 28 28
The test of the variances at .10 reveals that we reject the null hypothesis. Yes or no
There is a statistically significant difference between the mean of regular gas and the mean of premium gas as evidenced by the respective sample means. Yes or no
The standard error of the mean difference is 1.969 Yes or no'
For the test of the means at .05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Yes or no
For the test of the means at .05, the decision is reject the null hypothesis. yes or no
