Unit 1

The document discusses data compression techniques including lossy and lossless compression. It provides true/false and multiple choice questions about compression topics such as the purpose of compression being to reduce file sizes, compression working by finding repeating patterns, reasons for compressing including reducing storage space and transmission times, examples of compressed file types like ZIP and MP3, lossy compression eliminating unnecessary information to reduce file size while lossless compression involves no loss of information.

20. Which of the following is true of lossy and lossless compression techniques?
Lossless compression throws away unimportant details that a human being will likely be
unable to detect.
Lossy compression is only possible on files that are at least one gigabyte in size before
compression.

to represent a file.
Lossless compression is only used in situations where lossy compression techniques
can't be used.
Lossy compression is best suited for situations where some loss of detail is
tolerable, especially if it will not be detectable by a human.
