Is this relation in at least 1NF? Why or why not?
Assuming the values shown are the only possible tuples for all time, what is the primary key of the initial relation? Remember that a primary key must be unique and not null.
What normal form is this relation currently in?
Describe the specific modification anomalies that exist if we DELETE the tuple containing Stewart.
If necessary, decompose the initial relation into a set of non-loss 3NF relations by showing the relations, attributes, and tuples. Show complete relations with attribute headings and all data values in the tuples of your relations. Determine the number of 3NF relations you end up with after normalization, write this number, and then circle the number.
At the top of your Word file include your name, and the date.

Is this relation in at least 1NF? Why or why not?
The given relation is in first Normal form(1NF). all attribute values are atomic.
INF disallow nested relations {relations within relations} and multivalued attributes and their combination.The above relation has redundancy.
Assuming the values shown are the only possible tuples for all time, what is the primary key of the initial relation? Remember that a primary key must be unique and not null.
BOY is the primary key for the given relation. Because primary key used to uniquely identify tuples in relations.
Primary key is combination of unique and not null.
Primary key allow unique values and disallow null values
Describe the specific modification anomalies that exist if we DELETE the tuple containing Stewart.
GROUP and AGE these attributes creates anomalies.(modification and deletion)
