Iteration Page 3 of 3</p><p>Systems Analysis & Design Chapter 4 – True/False Instructions: Circle T if the statement is true or F if the statement is false.</p><p>T F 1. Much like data flow diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams depict data and information flows. T F 2. A many-to-many relationship is usually abbreviated M:M. T F 3. A many-to-many relationship is different from the others because the event that links the two entities is actually a third entity that has its own characteristics. T F 4. A set of DFDs provides a logical model of what a system does, not how it does it. T F 5. A gray hole is a process that has at least one input and output, but the input is insufficient to produce the desired output. T F 6. One important convention for a DFD is to make sure you spread out each drawing on as many pages as you need. T F 7. A Diagram 0 doesn’t show any process or data flows, it’s used more as a title or introductory page. T F 8. When you explode a DFD, the higher-level diagram is called the parent diagram. T F 9. When using a bottom-up strategy for creating DFDs, you first identify all functional primitives, data stores, entities, and data flows. T F 10. A decision table shows a logical structure, with all possible combinations of conditions and resulting actions.</p>
