Binary Bonanza
These two words are combined to form the shorthand word bit.
binary digit
data compression algorithm that reduces the number of bits stored while guaranteeing complete reconstruction of the original data
lossless compression
The collection of facts and patterns extracted from data
information
a 1 / a 0
a bit
1 and 0
Lossy or Lossless: quality is key
lossless
a process that makes the data uniform without changing its meaning
cleaning data
What is bigger, a gigabyte or a terabyte?
terabyte
Each character in the ASCII reference chart is equal to this many bytes
one
Lossy or Lossless: minimize data size
lossy
data about data (date of creation, file size etc.)
metadata
How many kilobytes in a megabyte?
1000
8 bits
1 byte
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
This problem is often created by the type or source of data being collected.
bias
How many bytes of data does it take to store the pixel data for each pixel of color #45FF03?
three
What is the decimal equivalent for: 0011 0110
54
Lossy or Lossless: low transmission time
Lossy
This type of processing should be used with large data sets
parallel
The process of reducing complexity by focusing on the main idea and hiding details that are irrelevant to the question at hand.
