    A bit is the basic unit of all computing memory storage terms and is either 1 or 0. The word comes from binary digit. The byte is the smallest unit of memory in a computer. 1 byte is 8 bits. A bit is sometimes called a nibble - half a byte. What is the relationship between byte and bit?
    Отвечать
    (C)
    1 byte = 8 bits
  • 16
    What does the term 'bit' refer to?
    Отвечать
    (B)
    A binary digit
  • 17

    Отвечать
    (D)
    256
  • 18
    What does a higher sampling rate result in for digital audio?
    Отвечать
    (B)
    Higher sound quality and a larger file size.
  • 19
    In run-length encoding (RLE), what is the purpose of representing consecutive identical data values?
    Отвечать
    (C)
    To reduce the file size.
  • 20
