Question 1

Data __________ refers to the form in which data is stored, processed, and transmitted.

Accepted Answer

representation

Question 2

The process of converting information, such as text, numbers, photos, or music, into digital data that can be manipulated by electronic devices is called ___________.
A) binary
B) digitization
C) representation
D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

Digitization is the process of converting analog information into digital form, which involves converting continuous signals into discrete digital codes, represented by a sequence of 0s and 1s (binary). Representation can refer to the way digital data is stored, organized, and presented, but it is not specific to the process of converting analog to digital.

Question 3

A file name extension indicates the file format.

Accepted Answer

A file name extension typically indicates the file format, giving information about the type of data stored in the file and allowing the computer to associate the file with the appropriate program for opening and managing it. Examples of file extensions include .jpg for image files, .docx for Microsoft Word documents, .mp3 for audio files, and .pdf for portable document format files.

Question 4

In a formatted text file, ________ signal(s) the beginning and end of a formatting command.

Accepted Answer

The answer of In a formatted text file, ________ signal(s)...

Question 5

Data refers to the symbols that represent people, events, things, and ideas.

Accepted Answer

This is because data are indeed symbolic representations of various things in our world, including people, events, things, and ideas. These symbols can take many forms, such as numbers, words, images, or sounds, and can be stored and processed by computers and other devices for various purposes.

Question 6

Transmission speeds are expressed in _______, whereas storage space is expressed in _______.
A) bits, bytes
B) bytes, bits
C) binary, numeric
D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

Transmission speeds are measured in bits per second (bps), whereas storage space is measured in bytes. Therefore, the correct match is "bits" and "bytes," which is only present in choice A.

Question 7

The 0s and 1s used to represent digital data are referred to as _________ digits.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The 0s and 1s used to represent...

Question 8

The _______ number system allows digital devices to represent virtually any number simply by using 0s and 1s.
A) digital
B) text
C) numeric
D) binary

Accepted Answer

The binary number system is a digital system that uses only 0s and 1s to represent numbers. The other options, digital, text, and numeric, are broad categories that do not specifically relate to the use of 0s and 1s in representing numbers.

Question 9

American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) requires __________ bits for each character.
A) two
B) six
C) seven
D) ten

Accepted Answer

ASCII requires seven bits for each character. This allows for a total of 128 different characters to be represented (2^7 = 128).

Question 10

Unicode uses________ bits and provides codes for 65,000 characters.
A) seven
B) eight
C) ten
D) sixteen

Accepted Answer

Unicode uses 16 bits and provides codes for 65,536 characters.

Question 11

Character data is composed of letters, symbols, and numerals that are used in calculations.

Accepted Answer

Character data is composed of letters, symbols, and numerals, but it is not used in calculations; it is used for storing and manipulating text.

Question 12

_________ refers to the symbols that represent people, events, things, and ideas.

Accepted Answer

The answer of _________ refers to the symbols that represent...

Question 13

________ data consists of numbers that can be used in arithmetic operations.
A) Text
B) Digital
C) Numeric
D) Binary

Accepted Answer

Numeric data consists of numbers that can be used in arithmetic operations, such as integers, decimals, or fractions. Text data, on the other hand, consists of words or characters, while digital data refers to any data that is stored in a digital format (which could include both numeric and text data). Binary data is a type of digital data that consists of ones and zeroes.

Question 14

Plain, unformatted text is sometimes called ASCII text.

Accepted Answer

ASCII text is plain, unformatted text that only uses the ASCII character set.

Question 15

ASCII text files contain formatting.

Accepted Answer

ASCII text files do not contain any formatting, they only contain plain text characters. Any formatting in ASCII text files has to be done through the use of special characters, such as tabs and line breaks.

Question 16

A group of eight bits is called a _______.
A) byte
B) megabit
C) binary
D) numeric data

Accepted Answer

A group of eight bits is called a byte.

Question 17

All of the data stored and transmitted by digital devices is encoded as bits.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. All data in digital devices, including text, images, and videos, is converted into binary code consisting of 0s and 1s, which are also called bits. These bits are then stored and transmitted through various digital devices such as computers, smartphones, or the internet.

Question 18

The binary number system has only two digits: 1 and 2.

Accepted Answer

The binary number system has only two digits: 0 and 1.

Question 19

Data becomes _______ when it is presented in a format that people can understand and use.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Data becomes _______ when it is presented...

Question 20

Digital data can be __________ that have been converted into discrete digits such as 0s and 1s.
A) text
B) numbers
C) graphics, sound, and video
D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

Digital data can include any type of information that has been converted into binary digits, including text, numbers, graphics, sound, and video. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
