Question

State if the given statements are true or false by reporting your answers (T for ``true’’ and F for ``false’’) in the last column of the following table.

(i)	1000 bits equal one byte.
(ii)	Batch processing allows the creators of computing jobs to interact with the jobs during their completion.
(iii)	Multiprogramming assigns the same time interval to all computing jobs.
(iv)	1000 bytes equal one kilobyte.
(v)	Multiprogramming is used only in multi-user settings.
(vi)	1 terabyte equals more bits than 1 gigabyte.
(vii)	Batch processing is a kind of multitasking.
(viii)	Scaling in the context of operating systems is same as speeding up or slowing down the processes aimed at completion of computing jobs based on the deadlines given by the creators of the jobs.
(ix)	Load balancing in the context of operating systems means splitting the computer programs written in high-level programming languages into smaller programs, to make sure that all processors are assigned equal number of lines of code written in the high-level programming languages.
(x)	1 megabyte equals 8 terabytes.
(xi)	There are multiple criteria for classifying computer networks.
(xii)	The only way to create a larger computer network from bus networks is to connected them with a bridge.
(xiii)	File manager is a part of user interface.
(xiv)	Booting is the process of transferring the operating system from the main memory to the mass storage.
(xv)	1 exabyte equals 250 kilobytes.
(xvi)	Device drivers are a part of user interface.
(xvii)	Star networks are same as networks of computers used to process data about stars in the sky.
(xviii)	1 petabyte equals 253 bits.
(xix)	Auditing software in the context of operating systems is a software that creates a software during an attack on a computer/computers, to defend the computer/computers.
(xx)	A dispatcher in the context of operating systems chooses the activities to consider for execution.

Answer 1

i) False

8 bits = 1 byte

ii) False

Batch processing is the running of jobs that can run without end user interaction, or can be scheduled to run as resources permit. Batch processing is intended to mostly operate without human intervention.

iii) False.

Multiprogramming is defined as  computer running more than one program at a time (like running Excel and Firefox simultaneously). I doesn't say anything for same time intervals.

iv) True

1 kilobyte = 1000 byte
