Unit 13 AP Computer Science Principles
Questions & Answers
Data - ANSWERSinformation collected about the physical world (numbers, words,
measurements, observations, etc) that is in a computer-readable form
human-readable information - ANSWERSInformation like books, notebooks, physical
photographs, voice
numbers (binary ones) - ANSWERSWhat is computer readable information?
song files, video files, image files, text files, spreadsheet measurements, and statistics -
ANSWERShuman-readable data into digital examples
write programs to store, process, manipulate and visualize data - ANSWERSWhat can
be done once data is structured in a uniform way?
input data - ANSWERSany information, or data, that is sent to a computer for
processing (spreadsheets, keyboard inputs, HTTP requests)
takes in input data, analyze and manipulate it, and produce output data -
ANSWERSwhat do programs do?
output data - ANSWERSthe data resulting from a computer run (sounds, images, HTTP
response)
creation of knowledge - ANSWERSwhat do data and information facilitate?
extract info, identify trends, make predictions, make connections, recognize problems -
ANSWERSwhat does digital data allow us to do?
computing tools - ANSWERSwhat is essential when working with large data sets in
order to extract useful info and gain knowledge?
Computing tools - ANSWERSa computer program that provides ways to search, filter,
store, and visualize data
databases and data base language - ANSWERSfind solution: storing and processing
massive amount of data efficiently is challenging
encrypt and anonymize data - ANSWERSfind solution: keeping data private is
challenging
