Explanation / Answer
Question #11
Data and information are two dissimilar entities. True
Explanation:
Data:
The word ‘Data’ is derived from the plural form of latin word ‘Datum’, which means ‘to give’.
Originated at mid 17th century.
Data is a collection of raw facts.
May or may not be meaningful.
Input to any system may be treated as Data.
Understanding is difficult.
Data must be processed to understand.
Data may not be in the order.
Example: Statistics, numbers, characters, images.
Information:
The word ‘Information’ is derived from latin word ‘Informare’, which means ‘to instruct’.
Originated at late middle time.
Information is the outcome derived after processing the data.
Information is always meaningful.
Output after processing the system is Information.
Understanding is easy.
Information is already in understandable form, it may be processed further to make it more understandable.
Information should be in the order.
Example Reports, Knowledge.
Question # 12: The RAM called a volatile device. True
Explanation:
Volatile memory needs power to store data. When power is lost, so is the data. It also happens to be the fastest kind of memory right now, so we use it quite a lot. You just have to make sure your device has reliable power.
Question # 13: The RAM and hard drive are both volatile devices. False
Explanation: RAM is a volatile device where as hard drive is a non-volatile device.
Question # 14: A byte is equivalent to 8 Bits in binary system True
Explanation:
Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer[1][2] and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures. The size of the byte has historically been hardware dependent and no definitive standards existed that mandated the size. The de facto standard of eight bits is a convenient power of two permitting the values 0 through 255 for one byte
Question # 15: The address buses on the system-board can be upgraded without replacing the board itself. False
Explanation:An address bus is a computer bus (a series of lines connecting two or more devices) that is used to specify a physical address. When a processor or DMA-enabled device needs to read or write to a memory location, it specifies that memory location on the address bus (the value to be read or written is sent on the data bus). The width of the address bus determines the amount of memory a system can address. For example, a system with a 32-bit address bus can address232 (4,294,967,296) memory locations. If each memory location holds one byte, the addressable memory space is 4 GiB.
You can not upgrade the address bus without upgrading mother board chip set.
Question # 16) Data stored in a ROM cannot be changed by user of a computer. True
Explanation:Short for Read-Only Memory, ROM is a storage medium that is usedwith computers and other electronic devices. As the name indicates, data stored in ROM may only be read; it is either modified with extreme difficulty or not at all. ROM is mostly used for firmware updates.
