What explains the discrepancy between the number of bytes you can

Computers and Technology

sergejj [24]2 years ago

Answer:

This is because, the advertisers report the storage space in decimal while the computer reads the storage space in binary.

Explanation:

The advertisers report the storage space in decimal or base 10 because humans count in decimal, whereas the computer reports the storage space in binary or base 2.

Since the computer storage is in bytes and 8 bits equal 1 byte, It is easier to write a storage space of 1 kB as 1000 B but it is actually supposed to be 1024 B(2¹⁰). So, there is a discrepancy of 1024 B - 1000 B = 24 B.

As  we go higher, the discrepancy increases. For example, 1 MB is advertised as 1000 kB = 1000000 B but is actually supposed to be 1024 kB = 1024 × 1024 B = 1048576 B. So, there is a discrepancy of 1048576 B - 1000000 B = 48576 B.

So, the actual number of bytes on the storage device is actually less than that reported due to the different number systems in which they are reported in. This discrepancy is less in memory cards or flash drives though in which the stated value of storage capacity might be the actual storage size.

Note that the base 10 or decimal system was chosen by advertiser since this is what consumers understand.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

b.used is 2, b.data[0] is 4, b.data[1] is 6

Explanation:

bag b;

b.insert(5); // b has 5

b.insert(4); // b has 5,4

b.insert(6); // b has 5,4,6

b.erase_one(5); // now 5 is removed , b has 4,6

so no:of elements b.used is 2

b[0]=4;

b[1]=6;

Neporo4naja [7]

The OC level is primarily used as a regional ISP backbone, and occasionally by very large hospitals, universities, or other major enterprises is <u>OC-48.</u>

<u></u>

<h3>What is the greatest amount of throughput provided by an OC 12?</h3>

OC-12 is a network line with communication speeds of up to 622.08 Mbit/s (payload: 601.344 Mbit/s; overhead: 20.736 Mbit/s). OC-12 lines are generally used by ISPs as wide area network (WAN) connections.

<h3>When using frame relay What is the appellation of the identifier?</h3>

A data-link connection identifier (DLCI) determines the Frame Relay PVC. Frames are routed through one or more virtual circuits determined by DLCIs.

Each DLCI has a permanently configured switching path to a particular destination

What percentage of teens plays video games?<br><br> A.97%<br> B.100%<br> C.74%<br> D.50%
inna [77]

Answer:

This would all depend on what kind of video games you are talking about, most people would say that playing on you phone is like playing a game on a console or a PC.  

most kids do play on these three things, so I'm going to go with answer choice C.

Explanation:

Reason why is because just like there are many who play, there are many who don't. I being one who prefers to read would like to make it known that not all teens do play video games, and that there are plenty of those who would rather do something productive.
