Question A.Consider the bank database of Figure 15.14, where the primary keys are underlined, and the following SQL query: select T.branch name from branch T, branch S where T.assets > S.assets and S.branch city = “Brooklyn” Write an efficient relational-algebra expression that is equivalent to this query. Justify your choice. B. Let relations r1(A, B, C) and r2(C, D, E) have the following properties: r1 has 20,000 tuples, r2 has 45,000 tuples, 25 tuples of r1 fit on one block, and 30 tuples of r2 fit on one block. Estimate the number of block transfers and seeks required using each of the following join strategies for r1 ⋈ r2: a. Nested-loop join. b. Block nested-loop join. c. Merge join. d. Hash join.

The worldwide market share for the Chrome web browser was 56.43% in a recent month. Suppose that you decide to select a sample of 100 students at your university and you find that 60 use the Chrome web browser. a. Use the five-step p-value approach to determine whether there is evidence that the market share for the Chrome web browser at your university is greater than the worldwide market share of 56.43%. (Use the 0.05 level of significance.) b. Suppose that the sample size is n = 600, and you find that 60% of the sample of students at your university (360 out of 600) use the Chrome web browser. Use the five-step p-value approach to try to determine whether there is evidence that the market share for the Chrome web browser at your university is greater than the worldwide market share of 56.43%. (Use the 0.05 level of significance.) c. Discuss the effect that sample size has on hypothesis testing. d. What do you think are your chances of rejecting any null hypothesis concerning a population proportion if a sample size of n = 20 is used?
