A customized hat sitting on your friend's head is an example of which model--the conceptual model or the physical model? Physical Model (*) 18. Many reasons exist for creating a conceptual model. Choose three appropriate reasons from the options below. They accurately describe what a physical model will contain. (*) They capture current and future needs. (*) They model functional and informational needs. (*) A/an _________ is a piece of information that in some way describes an entity. It is a property of the entity and it quantifies, qualifies, classifies, or specifies the entity Attribute (*) In a physical data model, an attribute is represented as a/an Column (*) Entities are usually verbs.

True or False? True (*) The purpose of an ERD is to document the proposed system and facilitate discussion and understanding of the requirements captured by the developer. True or False? True (*) A well structured ERD will show only some parts of the finished data model. You should never try to model the entire system in one diagram, no matter how small the diagram might be. True or False? False (*) Which of the following statements are true about ERD's? (Choose Two)
