Across
- 2. the collection of facts and patterns extracted from data
- 5. a data type that is either true or false
- 6. A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent something in which some information is lost or thrown away. This process is not reversible.
- 9. the practice of obtaining input or information from a large number of people via the Internet
- 13. choosing a smaller subset of a data set to use for analysis, for example by eliminating / keeping only certain rows in a table
- 14. a group of interconnected computing devices capable of sending or receiving data.
- 17. A contraction of "Binary Digit"; the single unit of information in a computer, typically represented as a 0 or 1
- 18. data about data
- 19. the system responsible for translating domain names like example.com into IP addresses
- 20. a machine that can run a program, including computers, tablets, servers, routers, and smart sensors
- 24. <, >, <=, >=, ==, != indicate a Boolean expression
- 25. the collection of facts and patterns extracted from data
Down
- 1. A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent something without losing any information. This process is reversible.
- 3. a named reference to a value that can be used repeatedly throughout a program
- 4. a process that makes the data uniform without changing its meaning (e.g., replacing all equivalent abbreviations, spellings, and capitalizations with the same word).
- 7. the protocol used for transmitting web pages over the Internet
- 8. an ordered sequence of characters
- 10. 8 bits
- 11. A way of representing information using only two options
- 12. scientific research conducted in whole or part by distributed individuals, many of whom may not be scientists, who contribute relevant data to research using their own computing devices.
- 13. data that does not accurately reflect the full population or phenomenon being studied
- 15. a relationship between two pieces of data, typically referring to the amount that one varies in relation to the other.
- 16. NOT, AND, and OR, which evaluate to a Boolean value
- 21. Finding and fixing problems in an algorithm or program
- 22. a data type that is either true or false
- 23. data that does not accurately reflect the full population or phenomenon being studied
