The document provides information about binary numbers and conversions between decimal and binary. It includes questions about binary representations of numbers, the maximum value that can be represented by a nibble and a byte, and the number of possible outcomes for a nibble and byte. It also includes multiple choice questions about binary representations and overflow errors.

1. The school has an online store to purchase school brand items. It uses 5 bit sequences to label each item available for sale. Since the school is adding more clothing items to the store they want to increase their sequences to 6- bit. Which answer best describes the result of using 6-bit instead of 5-bit?
a. 10 more items can be labeled distinctly
b. 10 times more items can be labeled distinctly
c. 2 times more items can be labeled distinctly
d. 2 more items can be labeled distinctly
2. A popular music streaming service keeps count of how many times a certain song is played since the service had started. The counter updates immediately after a song is played. On one occasion, a negative 3 digit number was showing for the total times a certain song was played, while all the other were showing correct. Which selection below best explains what probably occurred?
a. The number for the song’s total played was larger than the maximum value assigned to represent that number.
b. The streaming service software had not been updated properly.
c. The streaming service software failed to tally the number of songs played due to over use.
d. A round-off error occurred when completing the mathematical operation.
3. Of the possible selections below, which can be represented by a sequence of
bits?
I. A special character II. A machine language instruction III. An integer
