Description that each column in this is meant to provide. The columns are:
Test: A description of the test or quiz given
Student: The student who took the test
Date: The date on which the test was taken
TotalPoints: The total number of possible points for the test
Grade: The number of points that the student received
TestFormat: The format of the test: essay, multiple choice, or both
Teacher: The teacher who gave the test
Assistant: The person who is assigned to assist the teacher

Assume that the primary key for this table is a composite primary key consisting of
the Test and Student columns.Each row in the table is meant to express a grade for
a specific test and student.
Normalize the given table.

DHL prides itself on having up-to-date information on the processing and current
location of each
shipped item. To do this, DHL relies on a company-wide information system. Shipped
items are
the heart of the DHL product tracking information system. Shipped items can be
characterized
by item number (unique), weight, dimensions, insurance amount, destination, and
final delivery
date. Shipped items are received into the DHL system at a single retail center.
Retail centers are
characterized by their type, uniqueID, and address. Shipped items make their way to
their
destination via one or more standard DHL transportation events (i.e., flights,
truck deliveries).
These transportation events are characterized by a unique scheduleNumber, a type
(e.g, flight,
truck), and a deliveryRoute.
Please create an Entity Relationship diagram that captures this information about
the DHL
system. Be certain to indicate identifiers and cardinality constraints.

Grading:
Entities correctly identified: 5
Attributes correctly identified: 5
Primary keys correctly identified: 5
Relationships and cardinality correctly identified: 10
