Information Systems and Computer Applications CLEP Prep Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What are the two types of data that can be stored in a computer?

Serial and binary

Binary and non-binary

Binary and non-binary are the two types of data that can be stored in a computer. Binary refers to data that is composed of only two values, often represented as 0 and 1. This data is used in all digital technology and is necessary for computer systems to function. Non-binary data, on the other hand, includes any data that is not limited to two values, such as words, images, videos, etc.

Option A is incorrect because serial is not a type of data, but rather a way of transmitting data. Option C is incorrect because structured and unstructured refer to the organization and format of data, not the type of data. And option D is incorrect because, as mentioned, serial is not a type of data and unstructured was already mentioned as a type of data in option C.
