The memory hierarchy typically includes: o Registers (fastest, smallest) o Cache o RAM o Hard Disk (slowest, largest) See notebook and book Vii Why is the word size of a processor important, and how does it affect the computer’s performance? The word size determines how much data a processor can handle at a time. A larger word size allows the processor to work with larger chunks of data, which enhances the overall performance and speed of the computer. Questions from Book following are the answers viii. Pipelining is a technique that improves CPU efficiency by overlapping the execution of multiple instructions. It breaks down the instruction execution process into stages, allowing different instructions to be at different stages simultaneously, similar to an assembly line. This increases the throughput and overall performance of the CPU. ix. Three considerations when choosing memory for a custom computer: Page 11 of 19 (SZH-PISQ Boys wing) Type: RAM (Random Access Memory) is essential for immediate data access. Consider the type (DDR, DDR2, etc.) and speed (MHz) based on the CPU's compatibility. Size: Determine the required RAM capacity based on the intended usage. For general tasks, 8GB is sufficient, but for demanding applications like video editing or gaming, 16GB or more might be necessary. Storage: Choose between HDD (Hard Disk Drive) for large storage capacity and SSD (Solid-State Drive) for faster data access and improved system performance. x. To improve the performance of an older computer without replacing the CPU, consider the following: Upgrade the RAM: Adding more RAM can help the system handle multitasking and demanding applications more efficiently. Install an SSD: Replacing the HDD with an SSD can significantly boost system boot time and overall responsiveness. Optimize software: Remove unnecessary programs, update drivers, and use lightweight software to reduce system load. xi. Advantages and disadvantages of impact and non-impact printers: Impact printers: o Advantages: Durable, reliable, and often cheaper. o Disadvantages: Noisy, slower, and can produce dust. Non-impact printers: o Advantages: Quieter, faster, and cleaner. o Disadvantages: Can be more expensive, might have limitations in certain applications (e.g., multi-part forms). xii. A protocol in data communication is a set of rules and standards that govern how data is transmitted, received, and interpreted between devices. It ensures that both the sender and receiver understand the data format and transmission methods. xiii. Simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex modes of communication: Simplex: Data flows in one direction only (e.g., radio broadcasting). Half-duplex: Data can flow in both directions, but only one at a time (e.g., walkie-talkies). Page 12 of 19 (SZH-PISQ Boys wing) Full-duplex: Data can flow in both directions simultaneously (e.g., telephone conversations). xiv. Start and stop bits are used in asynchronous data transmission to signal the beginning and end of a data character. They help the receiver synchronize with the sender and ensure accurate data interpretation. xv. A switch is a network device that forwards data packets to the intended recipient based on the MAC address. It is more intelligent than a hub, which simply broadcasts data to all connected devices. xvi. Asynchronous transmission sends data characters individually, with start and stop bits for synchronization. It is suitable for low-speed, error-prone connections (e.g., modems). Synchronous transmission sends data in blocks, synchronized by a clock signal. It is suitable for high-speed, error-free connections (e.g., fiber optics). xvii. A peer-to-peer network is one where all connected computers act as both clients and servers. It is suitable for small-scale networks and sharing resources among a limited number of users. However, it can be less secure and difficult to manage compared to a client-server network. xviii. Star and ring network topologies: Star: All devices are connected to a central hub or switch. It is easy to manage and fault-tolerant, but a single point of failure can disrupt the entire network. Ring: Devices are connected in a circular fashion. It is reliable and efficient, but adding or removing devices can be difficult. xix. Mesh topology is considered the most reliable because it provides multiple paths for data to flow, making it resilient to failures. However, it is also the most expensive to implement due to the large number of cables required. xx. The Application Layer in the OSI model is responsible for providing services to applications and users. It handles tasks such as file transfer, email, and web browsing. Long Answers Q1.

How well does the entrepreneur fit the entrepreneurial profile described in the chapter? (Answer) Understanding the Entrepreneurial Profile: a) Vision: Entrepreneurs have a clear idea of what they want to achieve. ▪ Example: Like a game developer who envisions a fun and educational mobile game. This vision guides their decisions and actions, helping them stay focused on their goals. b) Passion: They are deeply enthusiastic about their business. ▪ Example: A baker who loves creating delicious pastries and sharing them with others. This passion fuels their motivation and drives them to overcome challenges. c) Risk-Taker: They are comfortable with taking calculated risks. ▪ Example: Investing money to open a new restaurant, knowing it might not succeed. They assess potential risks and make informed decisions, but aren't afraid to step outside their comfort zone. d) Persistent: They don't give up easily, even when faced with challenges. Page#. 1 (PISQ-BW-SZH) Example: A student who keeps trying different solutions to a coding problem until it's solved. They learn from their mistakes and keep pushing forward, even when things get tough. e) Innovative: They are always looking for new and better ways to do things. Example: A clothing store owner who starts selling clothes online to reach more customers. They embrace creativity and seek opportunities to improve their products, services, or processes. Analysing the Entrepreneur: Does the entrepreneur in the chapter have these qualities? Give specific examples from the chapter to support your answer. For instance, if the entrepreneur is shown working late nights, it suggests persistence. If they introduce a unique product, it highlights innovation. Q2. Interpret the advantages and disadvantages that the entrepreneur sees in owning a business. (Answer) Advantages of Owning a Business: a) Independence: Being your own boss and making your own decisions. ▪ Example: A graphic designer who can choose their clients and set their own hours. ▪ This freedom allows them to pursue their creative vision and work in a way that suits them best. b) Flexibility: Having control over your time and schedule. ▪ Example: A writer who can work from home and take breaks when needed. ▪ This flexibility can lead to a better work-life balance and reduced stress. c) Potential for Financial Reward: Earning more money than working for someone else. ▪ Example: A successful online store owner who makes a good profit from their sales. ▪ This potential for higher income can be a significant motivator for entrepreneurs. d) Personal Satisfaction: Feeling proud of what you have built. ▪ Example: An architect who sees their building designs come to life. ▪ This sense of accomplishment can be a major source of fulfilment. Disadvantages of Owning a Business: a) Financial Risk: The possibility of losing money. ▪ Example: A new business owner who struggles to pay back their loan if the business fails. ▪ This risk can be a source of anxiety and requires careful planning and management. b) Long Hours: Working more than a typical 9-to-5 job. Page#. 2 (PISQ-BW-SZH) ▪ Example: A restaurant owner who works long hours during busy periods. ▪ This can lead to burnout and impact personal life. c) Stress: Dealing with the challenges of running a business. ▪ Example: A business owner who worries about competition and keeping customers happy. ▪ This stress can take a toll on mental and physical health. d) Uncertainty: Not knowing how much money you will make. ▪ Example: A freelancer who doesn't have a guaranteed income every month. ▪ This lack of predictability can make financial planning difficult.
