Assignment 33

1. An image is 800 by 500 pixels, and each pixel can be one of four colors. How much memory would it require?

    800,000 bits or  100,000 bytes.

2. An image is 800 by 500 pixels, and each pixel can be one of four colors. How much storage space would it require?

    800,000 bits  or 100,000 bytes

3. How many different colors could one represent using two, three and four bit codes?

    two bit codes = 4

    three bit codes = 8

    four bit codes = 16

4. When you add one bit to a code, what happens to the number of possible colors?

     when you add a bit to a code it makes the number double

Assignment # 19

Blogs can be a very interesting way of learning about things from one person's perspective. How many of us  have thought one way about a situation and then after reading someone's blog and doing some respective research on the topic we managed to find a totally different way of looking at things? I know that I have and I'm sure that many of you would probably agree. There is always more than one way of looking at a situation and making a blog is one of the ways for an individual to get their point across. I have included a link that helps the novice blog reader to be able to navigate the world of blogs

Assignment #24

1. If you took a picture of your car, could you store that using the ISO 8859-1 character standard? Explain your answer.

No, the ISO 8859 standard is not for images.

2. Write the word Hello using the ISO 8859-1 character standard.

01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111

H = 01101000

E = 01100101

l = 01101100

l = 01101100

0 = 0110111

a. How many bits did it take?

40

b. How many bytes did it take?

40/8 =5
c. Would it take more bytes in memory than in storage?

No

3. At 10 bits per second, how long would it take to transmit Hello from one computer to another?
There are 40 bits in hello so it would take 4 seconds

4. Which contains more information 100 random bits or 1,000 random bits? Explain your answer.

Bits do not contain information
