  • 2. 

    A ______________ is the part of the communication system that carries information.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "signal, a signal, signals". In a communication system, a signal is the part that carries information. It can be a physical or electrical representation of the information being transmitted. Signals can take various forms, such as sound waves, electromagnetic waves, or digital data. They are essential for conveying messages or data from one point to another in a communication system.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    ______________ is when a signal is translated into a form that the communications system can transmit.

    Explanation
    Encoding is the process of translating a signal into a form that can be transmitted by a communications system. This involves converting the information or data into a specific format or code that can be understood by the receiving end of the communication. An encoder is a device or software that performs the encoding process. "An encoding" is not a specific term and does not accurately describe the process of translating a signal for transmission.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    _______________ is when the electrical signal is converted to a form this is useful to the receiver.

    Explanation
    Decoding refers to the process of converting an electrical signal into a useful form for the receiver. This can involve translating the signal into understandable data or extracting specific information from the signal. Decode is the verb form of decoding, indicating the action of performing the decoding process. A decoder is a device or circuit that is used to carry out the decoding process. Therefore, all three options - decoding, decode, and decoder - are related to the conversion of electrical signals into a useful form for the receiver.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Wha reasons does Sol offer for wanting to develop speech recognition systems?

  • 6. 

    Why is it a challenge to design a computer system that can recognize and interpret human speech?

  • 7. 

    What is the difference between a signal and a message?

  • 8. 

    What parts of the telephone communications system are the encoder and decoder?

  • 9. 

    How is electricity used in the two communications systems described in this chapter?

  • 10. 

    What are some ways humans communicate with or through machines? (General question, not specifically in chapter.)

  • 11. 

    Sol says that technologies have brought people closer together, but some people disagree. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.
