Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Digital devices represent numeric data using the binary number system, also called base 2. The binary number system only has two digits: 0 and 1. No numeral like 2 exists in the system, so the number “two” is represented in binary as 10 (pronounced “one zero”).
Detailed explanation-2: -Computers use 1s and 0s because data is stored as binary numbers. Using a larger number base would allow computers to shorten data representations, but binary data is very fast and easy for the computer to work with.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tables, charts and graphs are all ways of representing data, and they can be used for two broad purposes.
