What is the best explanation for why digital data is represented in
computers in binary? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔It's easier, cheaper, and more
reliable to build machines and devices that only have to distinguish
between binary states.
What is the 4-bit binary number for the decimal number Ten (10)? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔1010
,What is the minimum number of bits you would need to encode the 26
letters of the alphabet plus a space - a total of 27 characters? - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔5 bits
Number systems with different bases such as binary (base-2), octal (base-
8), decimal (base-10), and hexadecimal (base-16), are all used to view and
represent digital data.
Which of the following is NOT true about representing digital data? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔When data is large enough computers switch to using
decimal representation instead of binary, because you can represent larger
numbers with fewer digits.

already been assigned to a student. Of the options provided below, which
is the smallest change to the way studentID is represented necessary to
ensure each incoming student receives a unique ID? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Add
