Problem Solving and Computing

What is an input device in a computer system?

• A device that displays information

• A device that sends data to the computer

• A device that stores data

• A device that processes data

Which of the following is an example of an output device?

• Keyboard

• Mouse

• Monitor

• Scanner

How do input and output devices contribute to computer processing?

• They store data for future use

• They allow the computer to communicate with the user

• They process data into information

• They protect the computer from viruses

What is the role of the CPU in a computer system?

• It stores all the data

• It processes instructions and performs calculations

• It provides power to the computer

• It connects the computer to the internet

Which of the following types of data can a computer store?

• Only text data

• Only numerical data

• Text, numerical, and multimedia data

• Only multimedia data

Explain how the problem-solving process can be applied to a problem.

• By guessing the problem and trying random solutions

• By defining the problem, preparing a plan, trying the solution, and reflecting on the outcome

• By immediately replacing the hardware

• By ignoring the problem until it resolves itself

What is the first step in the problem-solving process?

• Try a solution

• Reflect on the outcome

• Define the problem

• Prepare a plan

Which of the following problems cannot be solved with computing?

• Calculating large numbers

• Predicting weather patterns

• Understanding human emotions

• Automating repetitive tasks

What is the difference between input and output in a computer system?

• Input is data received by the computer, while output is data sent from the computer

• Input is data stored in the computer, while output is data processed by the computer

• Input is data processed by the computer, while output is data stored in the computer

• Input and output are the same in a computer system

Which of the following is a step in the problem-solving process?

• Ignore the problem

• Prepare a plan
