Question 1

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 be various forms of information such as text, numbers, graphics, sound, and video, and they all have to be converted into discrete digits, represented by binary code of 0s and 1s, to be processed and transmitted in computer systems. Therefore, the correct answer is D, all of the above.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Data

Question 3

Plain, unformatted text is sometimes called ASCII text.

Accepted Answer

ASCII text refers to plain text that follows the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) character encoding.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The answer of Data __________ refers to the form in...

Question 5

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 is stored and transmitted as bits, which are binary digits represented by the numbers 0 and 1.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

Data is indeed a collection of symbols or representations that convey information about people, events, things, and ideas.

Question 7

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 numbering system is commonly used in digital devices as it allows for representing of numbers using only two digits, 0 and 1.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

ASCII requires 7 bits for each character. This allows for a total of 128 possible characters to be represented, including upper and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols, and control characters.

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

Unicode uses sixteen bits and provides codes for 65,000 characters.

Question 10

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 11

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 12

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 commonly referred to as a byte. Megabit refers to a larger unit of data measurement, consisting of 1 million bits. Binary refers to a number system that uses base two, which is used to represent data in computers. Numeric data refers to any type of data that is numerical in nature.

Question 13

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 14

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 data that can be manipulated by electronic devices. Binary refers to the numerical system used by computers to represent data, and representation is a broader term that can refer to the way in which any type of information is depicted or conveyed. None of the above is not a valid answer as one of the options is correct.

Question 15

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 expressed in bits per second (bps), whereas storage space is expressed in bytes.

Question 16

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 17

________ 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 (A) consists of letters, words, or sentences, but cannot be used in arithmetic operations directly. Digital data (B) refers to data that is stored digitally, which encompasses both text and numeric data. Binary data (D) refers to data that is stored in the binary number system, which can represent both numeric and non-numeric data. However, not all numeric data is binary, so C is the best choice.

Question 18

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 19

ASCII text files contain formatting.

Accepted Answer

ASCII text files do not contain any formatting such as bold, italic, etc. They only contain plain text characters.

Question 20

A file name extension indicates the file format.

Accepted Answer

File name extension is a suffix added to the end of a file name that indicates the file format or type. For example, .docx file extension indicates a file in Microsoft Word format.
