5) Name the data model that is only used to document a database design.

6) State the most important characteristics regarding the output of any relational algebra operation.

7) Name the software system that permits the data in a distributed database to be transparent to others.

8) Use two words to distinguish a file based system and a database.

Create a program that allows a user to input customer records (ID number, first name, last name, and balance owed) and save each record to a file. When you run the main program, be sure to enter multiple records.

Once you create the file, open it and display the results to the user

Save the file as  CustomerList.java

In Python please:  Number the Lines in a File: Create a program that adds line numbers to a file. The name of the input file will be read from the user, as will the name of the new file that your program will create. Each line in the output file should begin with the line number, followed by a colon and a space, followed by the line from the input file.

1) In each scenario below, specify each variable as a response variable, an explanatory variable, or neither.

a. A researcher collects measurements of VO2 max and resting heart rate on a group of
subjects to study the relationship between these two variables.

b. A real estate agent wants to be able to predict selling prices of houses in Vancouver. He
collects data on 100 recently sold houses, recording their selling prices, size, age, number
of bedrooms, and whether they had a suite.

c. A physicist is investigating particle decay rates. She conducts a series of experiments,
recording in each the number of remaining particles at each time point.

2) I don’t like eating over-ripe bananas, and am interested in understanding the
factors that influence the ripening time of bananas after I bring them home from the store
(which I define as the time until a brown spot appears). I decide to conduct an experiment.
Every Sunday for 8 weeks, I buy a bunch of 6 green/yellow bananas, and record the time
until the first brown spot appears on each banana (so that I end up with 48 measurements on
ripening time). Each week, I try a different combination of methods of storing the bananas
(“treatment”): in a dark cupboard or in the light, with or without an ethylene absorber, and
close to or far away from other produce (fruits and vegetables). The details of my storage
plans are as follows in the below table:

(Week) (Dark/Light) (Ethylene Absorber?) (Close to Other Produce?)
1 Dark Yes Yes
2 Dark Yes No
3 Dark No Yes
4 Dark No No
5 Light Yes Yes
6 Light Yes No
7 Light No Yes
8 Light No No

a. What are the factors in this experiment, and what are the corresponding levels?

b. What are the individuals in this experiment?

c. Is this a randomized controlled experiment? Explain.

d. I find that the bananas that I stored in the dark with an ethylene absorber away from other
produce had a longer ripening time than the bananas in other bunches. Would you suspect
that this storage method causes longer ripening time, or that a confounding factor was at
play? Explain and, if the latter, provide a plausible example of such a factor.

e. Suggest an improvement to my experimental design (other than increasing my sample
size).

1. A poultry company undertook an experiment to determine the effect of certain treatments on chicken growth. A sample of 24 young chicks were given one of three possible treatments to aid their growth. In order of cost from least to most costly, the three treatments were as follows: a cheap food; an expensive food; the expensive food plus an injection of a growth serum. After a fixed period of time, the application of the treatments was halted and the chickens were weighed. The response was their increase in weight (in pounds) over the time period of the experiment. Because of space considerations, the experiment had to be carried out in four different laboratories. These laboratories were randomly selected and labeled as “North”, “South”, “East” and “West”. Each laboratory employed a different technician to carry out the experiment. Six chickens were assigned to each laboratory, and the three treatments were randomly assigned to the chickens within each laboratory (two chickens having each treatment within each laboratory). In your mini-report, explain why it makes sense to design and analyze this as a block design. Using the sample data, formally test whether it turned out to be sensible to use blocks, providing numerical justification (test statistic and P-value) for your conclusion. Also formally assess the main research question of interest: whether the three treatments yield significantly
different mean growth, again providing numerical justification (test statistic and P-value) for your conclusion. If you find a difference across the treatments, investigate exactly which treatments differ significantly from each other. Provide recommendations to the poultry company about their best practices based on your findings.
