    2. Review the scenario below. Identify the conceptual model and the physical model
    from the scenario.

    Zoe was about to go into a store to purchase drinks for the birthday party
    scheduled for that evening. Zoe knows that she needs drinks for 48 people and is
    expecting the store to accept a check for payment and to provide her with some
    assistance carrying the product to her car. Zoe wants to have carbonated drinks,
    non-carbonated drinks, and sugar free drinks. She is expecting to purchase 4 six
    packs. Zoe enters the store and discovers the entire drink distribution system is
    automated. She also discovers that the drinks come in varying package sizes and
    that she must choose the correct vending option for the products to be disbursed.
    Drinks are packaged in four packs, six packs, and ten packs, which is not what
    Zoe expected.

    3. Provide five reasons for creating a conceptual data model.

    4. List two examples of conceptual models and physical models.
