A news website uses 32-bit integers to count the number of times an article has been viewed.

The website is becoming more popular, and expects some of the articles to exceed the number of views that can be represented with 32 bits. In anticipation of this, the website is planning to change to 64-bit integers for the view counter.

Which of the following best describes the result of using 64-bit integers instead of 32-bit integers?

• 2 times as many values can be represented

• 32 times as many values can be represented

• 2^32 times as many values can be represented

• 32^2 times as many values can be represented

Which of the following is a true statement about data compression?

• Data compression is only useful for files being transmitted over the Internet.

• Regardless of the compression technique being used, once a data file is compressed, it cannot be restored back to its original state.

• Sending a compressed version of a file ensures that no one can read the contents of the file except for the intended recipient.

• There are trade-offs involved in choosing a compression technique for storing and transmitting data.

A student is transferring photos from her camera to her computer. The student notices that the saved photos on her computer are lower quality than the original raw photo on her camera.

Which of the following could be a possible explanation for the difference in image quality?

• The saved image files were compressed with a lossy compression technique.

• The saved image files were compressed with a lossless compression technique.

• The saved image files were not compressed properly.

• Some information is lost every time a file is saved on a computer.
