Explanation of Solution

Four Definitions of information:

  • Data are facts or figures which are recorded and information is the knowledge derived from certain information.
  • Information can be also defined as a data that is presented in a meaningful context.
  • When the data is summarized, ordered, grouped, averaged or compared, it is referred as Information as knowledge can be extracted from it.
  • Information can also be defined as a difference that makes a difference.

Favorite Definition:

  • The most favorite definition of information is – “Information can be defined as a data that is presented in a meaningful context.

    The above definition depicts the difference between data and information as both terms are mostly confused to be the same. Data on its own is irrelevant, when the data is grouped together it has a meaning, and this is called Information.

Difference between Data and Information:

Data Information
Data is the raw data that is not processed and analyzed...

Create two files to put into each directory: spreadsheetJanuary.txt meetingNotes.txt Assign access permissions to the directories:  Groups should have Read+Write access Leave owner permissions as they are  “Everyone else” should not have any access   Submit for grade: Screenshot of  /etc/passwd contents showing your new users Screenshot of /etc/group contents showing new groups with their members Screenshot of shared directories you created with files and permissions
⚫ your circuit diagrams for your basic bricks, such as AND, OR, XOR gates and 1 bit multiplexers, ⚫ your circuit diagrams for your extended full adder, designed in Section 1 and ⚫ your circuit diagrams for your 8-bit arithmetical-logical unit, designed in Section 2. 1 An Extended Full Adder In this Section, we are going to design an extended full adder circuit (EFA). That EFA takes 6 one bit inputs: aj, bj, Cin, Tin, t₁ and to. Depending on the four possible combinations of values on t₁ and to, the EFA produces 3 one bit outputs: sj, Cout and rout. The EFA can be specified in principle by a truth table with 26 = 64 entries and 3 outputs. However, as the EFA ignores certain inputs in certain cases, it is easier to work with the following overview specification, depending only on t₁ and to in the first place: t₁ to Description 00 Output Relationship Ignored Inputs Addition Mode 2 Coutsjaj + bj + Cin, Tout= 0 Tin 0 1 Shift Left Mode Sj = Cin, Cout=bj, rout = 0 rin, aj 10 1 1 Shift Right…
