About This Quiz

Alright computer whizes, here's another one. What's a nibble (smaller than a bit)? What do you know about it? And how extensive is your knowledge of it? Attack this quiz.

2.

A hexadecimal digit is at base?
- 6
- 10
- 12
- 16
Correct Answer

A. 16

Explanation

A hexadecimal digit is at base 16 because hexadecimal is a number system with a base of 16. It uses 16 different symbols to represent values from 0 to 15, where the symbols 0-9 represent their respective values and the symbols A-F represent values 10-15. This base is commonly used in computer programming and digital systems because it can represent large numbers in a compact and easily understandable format.

Which of the following is the ideal ow nibble?
- 1111 base 2
- 0001 base 2
- 0110 base 2
- 0111 base 2
Correct Answer

A. 0001 base 2

Explanation

The ideal low nibble is the nibble that represents the smallest value. In binary, a nibble is a group of 4 bits. The binary representation of the numbers given are as follows: 1111, 0001, 0110, 0111. Among these, the binary number 0001 represents the smallest value, making it the ideal low nibble.

A nibble is known as half of?
- Bit
- Byte
- Octet
- Terabit
Correct Answer

A. Octet

Explanation

A nibble is known as half of an octet. An octet is a unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. Since a nibble represents 4 bits, it is exactly half of an octet.

Rate this question:
6.

A nibble can be represented by a?
- Numeric byte
- Bit number
- Hex digit
- Digit
Correct Answer

A. Hex digit

Explanation

A nibble is a unit of digital information that consists of 4 bits. It represents a single hexadecimal digit, which can have a value from 0 to 15. Hex digits are commonly used in computer systems to represent binary data in a more compact and readable format. Therefore, a nibble can be represented by a hex digit.

A nibble is also known as?
- Mega bit
- Quartet
- Kilobit
- Octetit
Correct Answer

A. Quartet

Explanation

A nibble is a unit of digital information that consists of four bits. It is also commonly referred to as a quartet. The term "quartet" is used to describe a group or set of four, which aligns with the four bits that make up a nibble. Therefore, quartet is the correct term for a nibble. "Mega bit," "kilobit," and "octetit" are not accurate terms for a nibble.

What do you call a nibble in networking?
- A nibble
- Bi-bit
- Quad bit
- Semi-bit
Correct Answer

A. Quad bit

Explanation

A nibble in networking is called a quad bit. A nibble is a unit of data that consists of four bits, and each bit can have two possible values, either 0 or 1. Therefore, a nibble represents a total of 16 possible combinations, which can be represented by four bits.

There are how many types of nibbles, if you're using their values as a basis?
- M5
- 4
- 3
- 2
Correct Answer

A. 2

Explanation

The question is asking about the number of types of nibbles based on their values. A nibble is a unit of data equal to four bits, and each bit can have two possible values (0 or 1). Therefore, when using their values as a basis, there are only two types of nibbles: 0 and 1.
