Assume we have an algorithm used to simulate the results of flipping a coin n times. Two variables used for the algorithm are heads_counter, storing the number of heads we've had, and flip_counter, storing the number of flips we've made. We want to add on to the algorithm so that at the end we display whether there were an odd or even number of tails. Here are two algorithms that display whether we have an even or odd number of tails: Algorithm A: Set the value of num_tails to (flip_counter - heads_counter). If the value of num_tails MOD 2 is equal to 0, DISPLAY ("Even"), otherwise DISPLAY ("ODD"). Algorithm B: Set the value of even_flips to (n MOD 2) = 0 and set the value of even_heads to (heads_counter MOD 2) = 0. If even_flips is equal to even_heads then DISPLAY ("EVEN"), otherwise DISPLAY ("ODD"). Algorithm A always calculates the correct answer, but Algorithm B does not.

Question: 35 Digital images are often represented by the red, green, and blue values (an RGB triplet) of each individual pixel in the image. A photographer is manipulating a digital image and overwriting the original image. Which of the following describes a lossy transformation of the digital image (a transformation in which information is lost and cannot be restored)? Creating the negative of an image by creating a new RGB triplet for each pixel in which each value is calculated by subtracting the original value from 255. The negative of an image is reversed from the original; light areas appear dark, and colors are reversed. Swapping the Red and Green values of each pixel so that areas that were red now appear green and vice versa. Creating a mirrored image by swapping the RGB values from pixels on the left side of an image with RGB values from pixels on the right side of an image. Creating the gray scale of an image by averaging the amounts of red, green, and blue in each pixel and assigning this new value to the corresponding pixel in the new image. The new value of each pixel represents a shade of gray, ranging from white to black.
