Consider the relation enrolled (student, course) in which (student, course ) is the primary key, and the relation Paid (student, amount) where student is the primary key. Assume no null values and no foreign keys or integrity constraints. Assume that amounts $$6000, 7000, 8000,9000$$ and $$10000$$ were each paid by $$20$$% of the students. Consider these query plans (Plan $$1$$ on left, Plan $$2$$ on right) to ''List all courses taken by students who have paid more than $$x''$$.
