Explanation

The correct answer is D: Parametrization. Parameterized SQL queries allow you to place parameters in an SQL query instead of a constant value. A parameter takes a value only when the query is executed, allowing the query to be reused with different values and purposes. Parameterized SQL statements are available in some analysis clients, and are also available through the Historian SDK.

For example, you could create the following conditional SQL query, which contains a parameter for the collector's name: SELECT* FROM ExamsDigest WHERE coursename=? ORDER BY tagname SQL Injection is best prevented through the use of parameterized queries.

The option that is not considered an aggregate function is SELECT. An aggregate function is a function that performs a calculation on a set of values and returns a single value. Examples of aggregate functions are SUM, MIN, MAX, AVG, COUNT, etc. SELECT is not an aggregate function, but a SQL command that is used to select data from a table or a query.

A telephone number, despite being composed of digits, is not used for calculations and often includes formatting characters such as hyphens (-). Therefore, the most appropriate data type for a telephone number is Text (or VARCHAR in SQL databases), which can accommodate various formats and lengths, and preserve leading zeros that might be present in some phone numbers. Storing phone numbers as numeric data types would strip away any formatting and could lead to the loss of significant leading digits (like zeros in international numbers).

Boolean is a binary data type and only represents true or false values.

Date is a data type used for dates.

Number could technically store phone numbers, but it is not suitable due to the reasons mentioned above.

The correct join the analyst should complete is B. LEFT JOIN, four rows.

A LEFT JOIN is a type of SQL join that returns all the rows from the left table, and the matched rows from the right table. If there is no match, the right table will have null values.A LEFT JOIN is useful when we want to preserve the data from the left table, even if there is no corresponding data in the right table1

Using the example tables, a LEFT JOIN query would look like this:

SELECT t1.Name, t1.City, t2.Age FROM Table1 t1 LEFT JOIN Table2 t2 ON t1.Name = t2.Name;

The result of this query would be:

Name City Age Jane Smith Detroit NULL John Smith Dallas 34 Candace Johnson Atlanta 45 Kyle Jacobs Chicago 39

As you can see, the query returns four rows, one for each name in Table1. The name John Smith appears twice in Table2, but only one of them is matched with the name in Table1. The name Jane Smith does not appear in Table2, so the age column has a null value for that row.

The correct answer is B. There can be only one primary key in a data set, whereas there can be multiple unique keys.

A primary key is a column or a set of columns that uniquely identifies each row in a table. A table can have only one primary key, which also enforces the NOT NULL constraint on the column(s) involved.A primary key can also be referenced by a foreign key of another table to establish a relationship between the tables12

A unique key is a column or a set of columns that also uniquely identifies each row in a table, but it is not the primary key. A table can have more than one unique key, which also allows one NULL value for the column(s) involved.A unique key can also be referenced by a foreign key of another table to establish a relationship between the tables12

Some of the differences between a primary key and a unique key are:

A primary key creates a clustered index on the column(s), whereas a unique key creates a non-clustered index on the column(s)3

A primary key does not allow any NULL values, whereas a unique key allows one NULL value for the column(s)123

A primary key can be a unique key, but a unique key cannot be a primary key12

The analyst should rescale the data to fix this issue. Rescaling is a process of transforming data from one scale to another, such as changing the units of measurement. In this case, the analyst needs to rescale the temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius, which are two different scales for measuring temperature. To do this, the analyst can use the following formula:

Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9

This formula converts each temperature value from Fahrenheit to Celsius by subtracting 32 and multiplying by 5/9. For example, if the temperature is 68°F, the rescaled value in Celsius is:

Celsius = (68 - 32) * 5/9 Celsius = 20°C

Rescaling the data can help the analyst to report the temperatures in a consistent and accurate way, and to avoid any confusion or errors that may arise from using different scales.Rescaling can also make the data more comparable and compatible with other data sources or standards that use the same scale12.

The correct answer is D. Spearman’s rank correlation.

Spearman’s rank correlation is a non-parametric test that measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables that are ranked (ordinal) or continuous. Spearman’s rank correlation does not assume that the data follows a normal distribution or that the variables are linearly related.Spearman’s rank correlation is based on the ranks of the data rather than the actual values12

A. One-sample t-test is not correct, because it is a parametric test that compares the mean of a sample to a specified value.One-sample t-test assumes that the data follows a normal distribution and has a known population standard deviation34

B. Two-way ANOVA is not correct, because it is a parametric test that compares the means of two or more groups that are influenced by two independent factors. Two-way ANOVA assumes that the data follows a normal distribution, has homogeneous variances, and has independent observations.

C. Correlation coefficient is not correct, because it is a parametric test that measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two continuous variables. Correlation coefficient assumes that the data follows a bivariate normal distribution and has no outliers.
