Which statement most accurately matches the lesson evidence for “Lossless compression”?

Classify the source statements from Sound Representation and Data Compression by the role they play in a defensible answer.

Independently classify this second set of lesson evidence. For each, decide whether it supplies a core idea, a mechanism, or an application/condition rather than relying on a single keyword.

Put the authentic stages from “RLE carried out explicitly” in order. Keep the mechanism connected to the lesson evidence rather than arranging terms alphabetically.

Use the lesson's wording to explain “Sampling rate and resolution” in two or three precise sentences. Include one implication from:

Use the source comparison “Compression choices by data type”. Complete the missing Useful approach entries without replacing the lesson's stated distinction.

After ordering the stages, identify the first step that would make a later conclusion unreliable if it were skipped. Put the authentic stages from “RLE carried out explicitly” in order. Keep the mechanism connected to the lesson evidence rather than arranging terms alphabetically.

Work through this lesson-owned case: Explain or demonstrate: Explain how analogue sound is sampled and stored digitally using an ADC, and played back using a DAC.

Work through this second lesson-owned case: Estimate the uncompressed size of 30 seconds of mono audio sampled at $44100$ Hz with 16-bit samples.

A student applies the conclusion from case A to case B without checking this condition: “The required quality depends on use: speech, archival music and a short alert tone have different needs.”. Explain why that move may fail, then repair the reasoning for case B.

Explain case A (Explain or demonstrate: Explain how analogue sound is sampled and stored digitally using an ADC, and played back using a DAC.). Use this condition to assess the explanation: “The required quality depends on use: speech, archival music and a short alert tone have different needs.”. Write your response, including the one piece of evidence that made you revise or confirm it.

Compare cases A and B. Identify one shared lesson idea and one difference in evidence, method, assumption or outcome. A: Explain or demonstrate: Explain how analogue sound is sampled and stored digitally using an ADC, and played back using a DAC. B: Estimate the uncompressed size of 30 seconds of mono audio sampled at $44100$ Hz with 16-bit samples.

Use “RLE carried out explicitly” to explain why the sequence changes the answer or outcome in this case: Explain why RLE is appropriate for a simple icon but poor for a photograph with noisy detail.

For case C — Explain why RLE is appropriate for a simple icon but poor for a photograph with noisy detail. — which evidence check is most defensible before accepting a conclusion?

A response quotes “One measurement of an analogue signal's amplitude at a particular instant.” but never connects it to case C. Diagnose the missing reasoning step and replace it with a supported conclusion.

Independently solve or explain a new instance built from “Sampling resolution”. State the relevant variable, representation, rule or causal mechanism; then give one condition that could change the conclusion.

Change one stated input, assumption, unit, data value, incentive or system constraint in case A: Explain or demonstrate: Explain how analogue sound is sampled and stored digitally using an ADC, and played back using a DAC. Decide whether the original source conclusion still follows and justify your decision with lesson evidence.

Evaluate this lesson claim in the context of case B: “Compression that permits the original data to be reconstructed exactly.” Give one reason it applies, one limitation or counter-condition, and a final judgement.

Create a concise evidence chain connecting “Audio size and run-length encoding”, “Analogue signal”, and case C. Explain how each link supports or limits the final outcome.

Create an annotated flowchart, trace table, data layout, state diagram, packet path, or component diagram for case A: Explain or demonstrate: Explain how analogue sound is sampled and stored digitally using an ADC, and played back using a DAC. Make the mechanism and condition “The required quality depends on use: speech, archival music and a short alert tone have different needs.” visible.

Create an annotated flowchart, trace table, data layout, state diagram, packet path, or component diagram for case B: Estimate the uncompressed size of 30 seconds of mono audio sampled at $44100$ Hz with 16-bit samples. Use labels to show how the evidence leads to your conclusion.

Create an annotated flowchart, trace table, data layout, state diagram, packet path, or component diagram for case C: Explain why RLE is appropriate for a simple icon but poor for a photograph with noisy detail. Include a labelled limitation, assumption or boundary that would affect the outcome.

Examiner audit: sort each Sound Representation and Data Compression claim by its role in a high-quality response. Then use the placement to explain how you would avoid unsupported recall in a long answer.

Choose the more convincing of cases A and B as evidence for “Sampling rate and resolution”. Justify the decision by comparing the specific conclusions and the condition “The required quality depends on use: speech, archival music and a short alert tone have different needs.”.

Create one fully specified new Computer Science case that combines the evidence in “Sampling rate and resolution”, “Audio size and run-length encoding”, and “Analogue signal”. Solve, trace, diagram or analyse it as appropriate; state the condition “The required quality depends on use: speech, archival music and a short alert tone have different needs.”; and finish with a justified conclusion.
