2. A coin is tossed three times. What is the probability that it lands on heads exactly one time?
a) 0.125 b) 0.25 c) 0.333 d) 0.375
3. The decimal number +122 is expressed in the 2’s complement form as
a) 01111010 b) 11111010 c) 01000101 d) 10000110
4. Which of the following is the binary fraction that is equivalent to the decimal fraction
115.625?
a) 1100111.1001110001 b) 1100111.101
c) 1110011.1001110001 d) 1110011.101
5. Which of the following is a term that shows the amount of work that is processed per unit of
time by a computer system?
a) Response time b) Throughput
c) Time slice d) Turnaround time
6. Which of the following is the most appropriate explanation of a dual system?
a) It loads the online processing program of the currently used system onto the backup system
that is set to the standby state. In the event of a failure in the currently used system, it
immediately switches to the backup system and continues the processing.
b) It prepares a dual-redundant unit or device, such as processor, memory, channel, and power
supply, and continues the processing even in the event of a failure in either of the devices.
c) It provides a currently used system for performing online processing and also a backup
system that is made to wait while performing the batch processing. In the event of a failure in
the currently used system, it switches to the backup system and continues the online
processing.
d) It provides a duplicate system for performing the same processing, and performs a cross-
check of the processing results. In the event of a failure in either system, it continues the
processing through degraded operation.
7. Which of the following is the appropriate purpose of defragmentation of hard disks?
a) To access disk files faster and more efficiently
b) To clean up temporary and junk files
c) To delete IBG and increase capacity
d) To protect disk drives from physical failures
8. In an online transaction system environment, which of the following represents the interval of
time from the time the system completes receipt of an input to the time the system begins to
return its resulting output?
a) Access time b) Latency time
c) Response time d) Turnaround time
9. Which of the following is the most appropriate method for the implementation of a fault
tolerant system?
a) A fault tolerant system is not implemented by using hardware, but rather by using software.
b) Devices and equipment are not dual-redundant, but important processes are performed on
devices with high availability.
c) The system is multiplexed with two or more computers instead of using a single computer.
d) The system is not implemented in a fail-soft configuration, but rather in a fail-safe
configuration.
10. When the MTBF and MTTR values for devices A and B are as shown in the table below,
what is the availability of a system where A and B are connected in series?
