Data is transmitted between a computer and a printer.

The data is transmitted one bit at a time down a single wire. The computer can transmit data

to the printer and the printer can transmit data to the computer, using the same connection.

Select two data transmission methods that will transmit data in this way.

• parallel full-duplex

• parallel half-duplex

• parallel simplex

• serial full-duplex

• serial half-duplex

A car park has a payment machine that allows a customer to pay for their parking.

The cost of parking is displayed as a denary number on a screen on the payment machine.

The cost of parking is stored in two 8-bit binary registers.

For the parking cost of $10.50:

• register 1 stores the denary value 10 as binary

• register 2 stores the denary value 50 as binary.

Give the parking cost that would be displayed on the payment machine when the registers

store:

• register 1: 00010001

• register 2: 01000110

.

The payment machine gives the customer a ticket when they have paid their parking cost.

Each ticket has a 4-digit hexadecimal ticket number that is stored as binary.

The binary number 1010 0000 0011 1101 is stored for a customer’s ticket number.

Give the hexadecimal ticket number that would be displayed on this customer’s ticket.
