100

These two words are combined to form the shorthand word bit.

binary digit

100

data compression algorithm that reduces the number of bits stored while guaranteeing complete reconstruction of the original data

lossless compression

100

The collection of facts and patterns extracted from data

information

100

a 1 / a 0

a bit

200

Each character in the ASCII reference chart is equal to this many bytes

one

200

Lossy or Lossless: minimize data size 

lossy

200

data about data (date of creation, file size etc.)

metadata

200

How many kilobytes in a megabyte?

1000

300
The binary number system uses only the combinations of what numbers?

1 and 0

300

Lossy or Lossless: quality is key

lossless

300

a process that makes the data uniform without changing its meaning

cleaning data

300

What is bigger, a gigabyte or a terabyte?

terabyte

400

8 bits

1 byte

400

compression algorithm that significantly reduces the number of bits stored but only allows reconstruction of some of the original data. The rest is lost.

lossy compression

400

This problem is often created by the type or source of data being collected. 

bias

400

How many bytes of data does it take to store the pixel data for each pixel of color #45FF03?

three

500

What is the decimal equivalent for: 0011 0110

54

500

Lossy or Lossless: low transmission time

Lossy

500

This type of processing should be used with large data sets

parallel

500

The process of reducing complexity by focusing on the main idea and hiding details that are irrelevant to the question at hand.
