An item is supplied by at least one vendor.

An item can be supplied by many vendors.
A vendor might not supply any items.
A vendor can supply many items.
Based on this information, what crows foot symbols should be placed at

positions 1 and 2 in the initial ERD below.
Correct!
For one vendor what is the MAXIMUM number of items that

vendor MAY supply? Another way to ask this is, one vendor MAY
supply a maximum of how many items? The answer according to
the problem is many. This means the maximum cardinality for the
VENDOR is many. So position 1 on the figure above is replaced
with the crow's foot symbol for many.
For one vendor what is the MINIMUM number of items that vendor
MUST supply? Another way to ask this is, one vendor MUST
supply at least how many items? The answer according to the
problem is zero. This means the minimum cardinality for the
VENDOR is zero. So position 2 on the figure above is replaced
with the crow's foot symbol for zero.
An employee must work at a minimum of one bank branch.

An employee may work at many bank branches over time.
A bank branch has at least one employee.
A bank branch may have many employees.

Correct!
Position 1 is the MINIMUM cardinality for EMPLOYEE. The

choices for position 1 are O and 1 only. The problem states
"An employee must work at a minimum of one bank
branch". This means the minimum number of offices the
employee works at is 1. Therefore the minimum cardinality
is 1.
Position 2 is the MAXIMUM cardinality for EMPLOYEE.

The choices for position 2 are 1 and many only. The
problem states "An employee may work at many bank
branches over time". This means the employee can work at
any number of offices over time. Therefore the maximum
cardinality is many.
An item is supplied by at least one vendor.

An item can be supplied by many vendors.
A vendor might not supply any items.
A vendor can supply many items.

Correct!
For one item what is the MINIMUM number of vendors that MUST
supply this item? The answer according to the problem is one. This
means the minimum cardinality for the ITEM is 1. So position 1 on
the figure above is replaced with the crow's foot symbol for one.
For one item what is the MAXIMUM number of vendors that MAY
 supply this item? The answer according to the problem is many.
This means the maximum cardinality for the ITEM is many. So
position 2 on the figure above is replaced with the crow's foot
symbol for many.
A student can have at most one locker.

A student might not have a locker.
A locker is not shared between students.
A locker could be empty.


Correct!
You must determine the minimum and maximum cardinality for the
STUDENT entity.
The problem indicates some students "A student might not have a
locker." so the minimum cardinality is O.
The problem also states "A student can have at most one locker.".
This means the maximum cardinality is 1.
This means the symbols for 1 and 2 are O and |.
A player plays for at least one team.

A player can play for many teams over time.
A team must have at least one player.
A team can have many players.

Correct!
Position 1 is the MINIMUM cardinality for PLAYER. The choices for

position 1 are O and 1 only. The problem states "A player plays for
at least one team.". This means the minimum number of teams the
player plays for is 1. Therefore the minimum cardinality is 1.
Position 2 is the MAXIMUM cardinality for PLAYER. The choices

 for position 2 are 1 and many only. The problem states "A player
can play for many teams over time." This means the player can
play for many teams over time. Therefore the maximum cardinality
is many.
A manager manages a single store.

A manager must manage a store.
A store has only one manager.
A store must have an manager.

Correct!
The problem indicates a manager manages a single store. This

means the manager manages at most 1 store and at least 1 store.
So the maximum and minimum cardinality for manager is 1 and 1.
The ERD below is the initial design to track events and the dates on which
they are scheduled. Using the ERD, what can you determine about the
statement "The Mud Walk for Clean Water event hasn't been scheduled
(given a date) yet."
orrect Answer This statement could NOT be true based on the ERD.
ou Answered
This statement could be true based on the ERD.
The minimum and maximum cardinality for EVENT are both 1.

This means an EVENT must have at least 1 date and can't have
more than 1 date so the statement cannot be true.

A video store stocks movie DVDs. Consider the ERD below. Assume
"Three Dalmatians" is a valid movie. What can you determine about the
statement "The video store has 101 copies of the 'Three Dalmatians'
movie".
ou Answered This statement could NOT be true based on the ERD.
orrect Answer This statement could be true based on the ERD.
This question is asking about the maximum cardinality for the

Movie entity. Reading the ERD from left to right we can see that 1
movie may have a maximum of many copies. Since many means 2
or more this statement could be true.
Consider the ERD below. Assume John Doe is a valid author. What can
you determine about the statement "John Doe has not written any books".

This statement can not be true.
Correct! This statement could be true.
Reading the ERD from left to right indicates an author can write a
minimum of O books and can write a maximum of many books.
Therefore the statement could be true.
Consider the ERD below. Assume John Doe is a valid author. What can
you determine about the statement "John Doe has written 11 books".
Correct! This statement could be true based on the ERD.
This statement could NOT be true based on the ERD.
Reading the ERD from left to right indicates an author MUST write
a minimum of O books and MAY write a maximum of many books.
Many means 2 or more so the statement could be true.
