CPT 113 Review Test One:
Chapter One:
1. Business Intelligence (BI) – predictive views of business operations and environments
gives competitive advantage
2. Computer Literacy – skill in using productivity software such as Microsoft Word, and
basic hardware and software knowledge
3. Data – consists of raw facts one element of information system
4. Database – collection of all relevant data organized series/ condensed files
5. Five Force Model analyzes an organization spot in a marketplace (stats of that company)
/ buyer power, supply power ect threat of off-brand / Mike Porter 1985
6. Information – consists of facts that have been analyzed by process component / output
of info system
7. Information Literacy – understand role of info generation using business intelligence
8. Information Technology – support info system use POS /RFID
9. Management Information System (MIS) – integration of hardware /software/ data
processing to create useful info for decision-making purpose (generalized knowledge)
10. Process – generates the most useful information for decision making / reports, models
11. Transaction-Processing Systems (TPSs) – focus on data collection and processing / cost
reduction
Chapter Two:
1. Application Software – commercial / home developed software used to perform
different tasks (coding example <Hello World.html/Python syntax>
2. Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) – performs math operations (+ - < > * /) relational probs
3. Bus – link b/w devices connect to the computer internal (local) / external / serial
4. Cache RAM – resides in the CPU (processor) /memory access takes several clock cycles
n-sec / stores recently accessed memory in CPU
5. Central Processing Unit (CPU) – heart of the computer two parts arithmetic logic
(ALU) and control unit
6. Cloud Storage – mult virtual servers hosted by 3rd parties / buy or lease storage
(ex ICloud / Google Cloud)

, 7. Computer – machine that accepts data as a input/ process data without human
guidance /stores instructions and outputs info
8. Control Unit – tells computer what to do, which device to read and what info to send out
9. CPU Case – enclosure containing the computer main components
10. Disk Drive – device for recording, storing and retrieving info
11. Machine Language – 1st gen consists of 1s and 0s dependent on machine so code written
for one type of pc doesn’t work for another pc
12. Assembly Language – 2nd gen machine dependent uses series of short codes or
mnemonics to show data
13. High-Level Language – 3rd gen machine independent majority of languages created each
designed for a certain purpose (C++, Java, C, Python)
14. 4th Gen Language (4GLs) – macro codes that can place of several lines of code
(modules/ short cuts) / cmds are simple and easy to learn
15. 5th Gen Language (5GLs) -
16. Input Devices – send data and info to the computer (keyboard / mouse)
17. Output Devices – representing info from a computer (visual, audio, digital) ex: printers,
monitors, and plotters (plotter gives a hard copy “print” of the output)
18. Magnetic Disk – made of Mylar or metal used for random access processing / can be
accessed in any order regardless of order on surface
19. Magnetic Tape – plastic material looks similar to cassette tape and stores data (follows
order 1,2,3)
20. Main Memory – stores data and info usually volatile (liable to change rapidly and
unpredictably) lost when power is turned off / major role PC performance
21. Motherboard – main circuit board /connectors/ CPU, BIOS
22. Network-Attached Storage (NAS) – file-based data storage services to other networks
23. Operating System (OS) – control and manage hardware /software interface between
computer and user / helps users share computer resources by performing repetitive task
24. Optical Discs – Laser beams to access and store data / ex CD-ROM , WORM , DVD
25. Random Access Memory (RAM) – memory data can be read and written to / Read-
Write-Memory
26. Read-Only Memory (ROM) – data cannot be written to ROM (nothing new added)
27. Redundant Array Independent Disk (Raid) – collection of disk drives used for fault
tolerance found in large network systems
28. Secondary Memory – nonvolatile holds data when computer is off /archival storage
