Binary Representation Quiz

What is a binary digit or bit?

• A special character

• A number between 0 and 9

• A letter in the English alphabet

• A 0 or a 1

How is data represented in RAM using binary?

• With capacitors holding a charge or not

• Through north and south polarity

• As trapped electrons or 3 electrons

• By reflecting light from a laser or not

What does the bit pattern 01100110 represent when passed through the ASCII character set?

• The number 102

• The lowercase letter F

• The uppercase letter G

• The special character @

What does a digital to analog converter do with a pattern of bits?

• Converts the data into a hexadecimal format

• Represents part of an analog waveform coming out of a speaker

• Stores the data as a series of zeros and ones

• Interprets the data as a signed binary integer

What is the main point made in the video about interpreting bit patterns?

• Interpreting bit patterns is a simple process

• The same bit pattern can only be interpreted in one way

• Bit patterns are always interpreted as numbers

• There is no way of knowing what a particular pattern of bits represents

What is the purpose of using binary in computing devices?

• To store data as a series of zeros and ones

• To avoid errors in data storage

• To represent data with more than two states

• To make components more difficult to build

How does a 1-bit representation store data in a black and white image?

• It represents eight black or white pixels

• It represents the value for the blue element of a single pixel

• It represents the value for the green element of a single pixel

• It represents the value for the red element of a single pixel

What is the significance of having just two states in binary representation?

• It makes interpreting data more complex

• It limits the types of data that can be stored

• It allows for more prone to error data storage

• It simplifies building electronic devices

What is the purpose of using magnetism in storing data on a hard disk?

• To represent data with more than two states

• To make components more difficult to build

• To avoid errors in data storage

• To hold a charge as 1 or not hold a charge as 0

What does the pattern of bits 11001100 represent in a 24-bit color image?

• The value for the red element of a single pixel

• The value for the blue element of a single pixel

• The value for the green element of a single pixel

• The value for the alpha element of a single pixel
