Solution

  1. False - 'Cardinality' refers not only to relationships but also to the number of instances in one entity which can relate to the number of instances in another entity.

  2. False - In ER diagrams, maxima and minima are drawn not only for relationships but also for entities to show the maximum and minimum number of instances that can participate in a relationship.

  3. True - Maxima and minima usually depend on business rules. They define the rules for how entities relate to each other.

  4. False - In the analysis phase, cardinality is not always determined after discovery is complete. It can be determined at any point when enough information is available.
