Question 1
Briefly describe (in your own words) each of the 7 RAID level, including one improvement that each RAID level makes over the previous levels.
Question 2
- Briefly describe one advantage and disadvantage of using fixed-length records in a file
- Briefly describe one advantage and disadvantage of using variable-length records in a file
Question 3
Construct a B+-tree for the following set of key values. Assume that a node size of 4 pointers (i.e. 3 keys) is used. (If you want to be considered for part marks in the even of a mistake, you should show some of the intermediate steps).1

Question 5
Construct an extendible Hashing Structure for the following set of key values. Assume that a bucket size of 3 entries, and the hashing function h(x) = x mod 8, are used. (If you want to be considered for part marks in the event of a mistake, you should show some of the intermediate steps).1
