    A peripheral is anything connected to a computer, like a keyboard, mouse, printer, etc. - ProProfs

    A peripheral is anything connected to a computer, like a keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A peripheral refers to any device or hardware that is connected to a computer. This can include input devices like a keyboard or mouse, output devices like a printer, or other external devices like a scanner or webcam. These peripherals are used to enhance the functionality of a computer system and allow users to interact with the computer. Therefore, the statement "A peripheral is anything connected to a computer, like a keyboard, mouse, printer, etc." is true.

    The information processing cycle includes the following processes: - ProProfs

    The information processing cycle includes the following processes:

    • Input, output, manipulation, arithmetic

    • Data, processing, printing, editing

    • Input, processing, output, storage

    • Storage, display, data, information

    Correct Answer
    A. Input, processing, output, storage
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Input, processing, output, storage." In the information processing cycle, data is first inputted into a system, then it undergoes processing where it is manipulated or transformed in some way. After processing, the result is outputted or displayed to the user. Finally, the processed data is stored for future use or reference. This cycle represents the flow of information within a computer system.

    Processing is - ProProfs

    Processing is

    • Anything connected to the computer

    • Done by the monitor

    • Not a function of a computer

    • The work being done--the thinking that the computer does.

    Correct Answer
    A. The work being done--the thinking that the computer does.
    Explanation
    Processing refers to the tasks and operations performed by a computer, which includes executing instructions, manipulating data, and generating output. It involves the "thinking" aspect of a computer, where it analyzes and processes data to produce the desired results. This answer accurately describes processing as the work being done by the computer, indicating its ability to perform calculations, make decisions, and solve problems.

    Keyboards and joystricks are examples of - ProProfs

    Keyboards and joystricks are examples of

    • Output

    • Storage

    • Processing

    • Input

    Correct Answer
    A. Input
    Explanation
    Keyboards and joysticks are examples of input devices. Input devices are used to provide data or instructions to a computer system. Keyboards allow users to input text or commands by pressing keys, while joysticks are used to control movement or actions in video games or other applications. These devices send signals to the computer, which then processes the input and performs the desired actions. Therefore, keyboards and joysticks are both examples of input devices.

    This is the part of the computer system that one can touch.

    • Hardware

    • Data

    • Software

    • Input

    Correct Answer
    A. Hardware
    Explanation
    Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system that can be touched or physically interacted with. This includes devices such as the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and CPU. Unlike data, software, and input, which are intangible and cannot be physically touched, hardware is tangible and can be physically manipulated or operated. Therefore, hardware is the correct answer in this context.

    There are __________ parts to a computer system - ProProfs

    There are __________ parts to a computer system

    • 2

    • 4

    • 16

    • Hundreds of

    Correct Answer
    A. 4
    Explanation
    A computer system typically consists of four main parts: the central processing unit (CPU), memory, input devices, and output devices. The CPU is responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations, while memory stores data and instructions for the CPU to access. Input devices allow users to interact with the computer, such as keyboards or mice, while output devices display or transmit information, such as monitors or printers. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    During the __________ portion of the Information Processing Cycle, the computer acquires data from which stage?

    • Processing

    • Input

    • Output

    • Storage

    Correct Answer
    A. Input
    Explanation
    During the input portion of the Information Processing Cycle, the computer acquires data from an external source or user. This is the stage where data is entered into the computer system, either through input devices such as keyboards or scanners, or through network connections. The input data is then processed and stored for further use in the information processing cycle.
