1. If you took a picture of your car, could you store that using the ISO 8859-1 character standard? Explain your answer.
No. A picture would use a different coding format than ISO 8859-1 such as jpeg or bmp. ISO 8859-1 was designed as a text code.
2. Write the word Hello using the ISO 8859-1 character standard.

4. Which contains more information 100 random bits or 1,000 random bits? Explain your answer.
4. Which contains more information 100 random bits or 1,000 random bits? Explain your answer.
Both random bit amounts contain no information because there is no code to make the random bits meaningful.
