Chapter 6, Problem 1MBD

Explanation of Solution

Issues with the Information:

The given information is inadequate to mail the magazine. The issues are listed below:

• The Last name could create a problem as most of the last names are same. If the mails are sent as per the last name the product might also change. The customer would receive a different product.
• Though the street address is right, the house number is not specified for the customer. This way the sent mail would return to the seller because of insufficient data.
• Zip code-The zip code for OH and CO state are same, whereas, in real case it is different. The zip code of city Columbus is 43085 not 87654.
• The area code is not given in the data. The area code is necessary to accurately spot the address.
• Additional information like contact number or neighbor's name would be more helpful.
