Hmm, I'm not sure which option is the best here. I know we need to use an embedded SQL statement, but I'm not familiar with the specific syntax for that. I'll need to review my notes on embedded SQL to figure this out.

I'm a little confused on the difference between Calculation and Formula. I think I'd go with Calculation to get the age, and then either Messaging or Alert to show the error. Not sure which one would be better for this scenario.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know bar charts and straight tables can display numerical values, but I'm not sure about the other options. I'll have to think this through carefully.
