7.

Which is true about 3 bits?

8.

Which is true about analog vs digital?

a)

Analog is data with values that change continuously, or smoothly, over time while digital is has a finite set of possible values

b)

Analog has a finite set of possible data values while digital has data values that change continuously, or smoothly, over time

9.

Which of the following is true about creating a digital image? Select all that apply.

a)

The more sampling you do, the closer the image will look to the analog version

b)

The less sampling you do, the closer the image will look to the analog version

c)

The more pixels you have, the smaller the file size of the image

d)

The more pixels you have, the larger the file size of the image

10.

Compression is a process used to reduce the number of bits necessary to represent something.

a)

True

b)

False

11.

What is the difference between lossy and lossless compression? Select all that apply.

a)

With lossless compression, you can reverse the process and recreate the original exactly

b)

With lossy compression, no information is lost

c)

With lossless compression, the size of the file sent is NOT going to be smaller than the original

d)

Lossy compression is ok if you are just trying to send a quick silly picture to someone but if specific details were important, you should use lossless compression

e)

Lossless compression would send a higher quality image than one sent with lossy compression

12.

What is true about copyright laws?

a)

If you use someone's stuff and don't cite it, you are violating copyright laws

b)

If someone has a Creative Commons license, then you are able to use their stuff freely (as long as it follows what is written in the license)
