Question 1

Which type of bitmap graphic loses some of its data during compression?
A) GIF
B) TIF
C) JPEG
D) PNG

Accepted Answer

JPEG is a lossy compression format, which means that some data is discarded during the compression process in order to make the file size smaller. GIF and PNG are lossless compression formats, and TIF can support both lossless and lossy compression. However, in general, JPEG is the format that is most likely to lose data when compressed.

Question 2

Which of the following is NOT an example of digital media?
A) A podcast played on a smartphone
B) A video chat played on a laptop
C) An animated game played on a game console
D) A song played on an electric guitar

Accepted Answer

A song played on an electric guitar is not an example of digital media because it is being played through a physical instrument and not through digital technology. The other options (podcast played on a smartphone, video chat played on a laptop, and animated game played on a game console) all involve the use of digital technology.

Which of the following is NOT a type of digital media?
A) An online video
B) A painting
C) A website's logo
D) A ringtone

Accepted Answer

Digital media refers to content that is created, distributed and viewed electronically. A painting, on the other hand, is not created, distributed, or viewed electronically and therefore is not a type of digital media.

Question 6

Which of the following gives the most realistic experience?
A) Animation
B) Digital video
C) Virtual reality
D) Digital graphic

Accepted Answer

Virtual reality provides the most immersive and realistic experience as it creates a simulated environment that users can interact with using special equipment such as goggles, gloves, and motion sensors. This technology allows users to experience a completely different world and have a sense of being present in that environment.

Question 7

What technology allows Alexa and Siri personal assistants to respond to questions and follow verbal instructions to perform tasks?
A) Machine learning
B) Real-time animation
C) Live video streaming
D) Artificial intelligence

Accepted Answer

Both Alexa and Siri use artificial intelligence (AI) to understand and respond to user requests. AI allows these personal assistants to analyze and interpret spoken language, learn from user interactions, and continually improve their ability to carry out tasks. Machine learning, a subset of AI, also plays a role in enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of these systems. Real-time animation and live video streaming are not directly related to the functionality of AI-powered personal assistants like Alexa and Siri.

Question 8

Denver is drawing a simple cartoon on the bottom corners of his notepad.Each page's corner shows the character in a slightly different pose,and when Denver flips through the pages,the character appears to move.The movement seems sporadic,though,and choppy.How many pages per second of animation would Denver need to draw to create a more natural appearance of movement?
A) 512
B) 8
C) 24
D) 76

Accepted Answer

The frame rate of a typical animation is usually around 24 frames per second (fps) to create a smooth and natural movement. Therefore, Denver would need to draw 24 different poses per second to create a more natural appearance of movement. Choice C, 24, is the closest option to this frame rate and is the best choice.

Question 9

Ginny is about to rent a movie online and is trying to decide which resolution will give her the best viewing experience.She plans to watch the video on her laptop,which offers a display resolution of up to 1920 x 1080.Which video resolution should Ginny select?
A) HD
B) SD
C) 4K
D) 8K

Accepted Answer

Ginny's laptop offers a display resolution of up to 1920 x 1080, which is the maximum resolution for HD (high definition) videos. Selecting HD resolution would ensure that she gets the best viewing experience on her laptop. SD (standard definition) resolution would be a lower quality and wouldn't take full advantage of her laptop's display capabilities. 4K and 8K resolutions would be too high for her laptop's display and wouldn't provide any additional benefit.

Question 10

Misty is playing with an app on her phone that shows star constellations on her screen as she pans her phone across the sky at night.Which of the following is the most accurate term for this kind of technology?
A) VR
B) Hologram
C) Virtual world
D) AR

Accepted Answer

The technology that Misty is using is called Augmented Reality (AR), which superimposes computer-generated images onto the real world, allowing users to interact with both.

Question 11

Toby needs a high-quality graphic for a background to his new website.Where can he get one legally?
A) Facebook
B) Microsoft
C) Shutterstock
D) Instagram

Accepted Answer

Shutterstock is a digital library that offers a wide range of high-quality photographs, vectors, illustrations, and videos that can be legally licensed and used for website backgrounds. Facebook and Instagram are social media platforms that do not offer a large selection of high-quality graphics that can be legally used for website backgrounds. While Microsoft does offer some graphics, they may not always be high-quality or available for legal licensing.

Question 12

Why are vector images typically used for logos instead of bitmap images?
A) Some types of bitmap graphics use lossy compression.
B) A vector image is a grid of pixels that forms an image.
C) Bitmap graphics are created by mathematical formulas.
D) Vector images are not resolution dependent.

Accepted Answer

Vector images are not resolution dependent, meaning they can be scaled up or down without losing quality. This is important for logos because they need to be used across a variety of mediums (print, digital, etc.) and at different sizes. Bitmap images, on the other hand, are made up of pixels and can become pixelated or blurry when scaled up.

Question 13

What kind of technology can traffic engineers use to determine the best timing for red light cycles at an intersection of two major highways?
A) Machine learning
B) Real-time animation
C) 3-D CAD software
D) Augmented reality

Accepted Answer

Traffic engineers can use machine learning algorithms to analyze traffic data and determine the best timing for red light cycles at an intersection. This technology can take into account various factors such as traffic volume, time of day, and accident history to optimize traffic flow and minimize congestion. Real-time animation, 3-D CAD software, and augmented reality are not directly applicable to solving this specific problem.

Question 14

A) 3-D animation
B) Logo
C) Icon
D) Button

Accepted Answer

Cymone needs a logo that she can use on all materials to create a consistent appearance. A logo is a visual representation of a brand and is a crucial element for any business's branding strategy. It will help customers identify her business across all platforms.

Question 15

Which of the following values can be represented by a single bit?
A) 1
B) cat
C) A
D) 1000

Accepted Answer

A single bit can represent a binary value of either 0 or 1, so A (which has a binary representation of 1) can be represented by a single bit. The other options cannot be represented by a single bit.

Question 16

What kind of digital media is an online broadcast of the Super Bowl as it happens?
A) Live audio feed
B) On-demand content
C) Live video streaming
D) Downloaded video

Accepted Answer

The online broadcast of the Super Bowl as it happens would be considered live video streaming. This is because it is happening in real-time and is being broadcasted online through a video stream. Live audio feed would only include the audio of the event, on-demand content would be pre-recorded and available for playback anytime, and downloaded video would be a video that has been saved and stored on a device for offline viewing.

Question 17

Vasily is designing a simulation tool that will let students practice assembling computers.Which format should he use for the animations?
A) HTTPS
B) HTML 5
C) JPEG
D) SWF

Accepted Answer

HTML 5 offers the best format for animations as it is supported by most modern browsers and offers features such as canvas and video support. HTTPS is a secure protocol for transmitting data, JPEG is a format for images, and SWF (Adobe Flash) is outdated and not supported on many devices.

Question 18

If you're about to download a photo that is labeled "high quality",what else can you assume about the photo?
A) It has a large file size.
B) It's a color photo.
C) It's an analog photo.
D) It's an expensive download.

Accepted Answer

High quality photos typically have a larger file size than lower quality versions. The other options are not necessarily associated with high quality photos.

Question 19

How can you identify the format of a file?
A) Check what program opens the file
B) Check what program created the file
C) Check the file size
D) Check the file name extension

Accepted Answer

The file name extension is the best way to identify the format of a file. Different file formats have different extensions, such as .docx for Microsoft Word documents or .jpg for image files. Checking the program that opens or created the file may give some clues, but it's not always reliable as different programs can open or create the same format of files. Checking the file size may give some indication of file type, but it's not a definitive method.

Question 20

How can you ensure you can legally use images found on Google?
A) Read the license and follow its restrictions
B) Use the image only for school
C) Give credit to the source
D) Send PayPal money to the image owner

Accepted Answer

Reading the license of an image found on Google is essential to know its copyright status and any restrictions that come with it. Following these restrictions is necessary to use the image legally. Giving credit to the source is also a good practice, but it alone does not guarantee legal use of the image. Using the image only for school purposes is not necessarily a defense in copyright infringement cases. Sending PayPal money to the image owner without permission does not automatically grant permission to use the image.
