5. Which statement describes the measurement of information as defined by the Shannon and
Weaver model?
a. The amount of information is measured by the amount of data in the message.
b. The amount of information is measured by the number of meanings that can be
assigned to a message.
c. The amount of information is measured by the extent the message decreases
entropy.
d. The amount of information is measured by the number of characters used to create
the message.
ANS: C
By decreasing entropy one decreases uncertainty. If a coin is thrown into the air, it may land
on either of two possible sides, heads up or tails up. Once it lands, the other side of the coin
can be determined. The options are coded zero (0) and one (1) and are the basis for building
computer code.

c. Cognitive, affective, and psychomotor
d. Short, intermediate, and long-term memory

9. Which group will test out new technology but are not usually seen as leaders within an
organization?
a. Innovators
b. Early adopters
c. Early majority
d. Late majority
ANS: A
Innovators will test out a new technology; however, they are too far ahead of the social group
to be seen as leaders by other members of the social system. Early adopters are seen as much
more discreet in their selection of new technology and are therefore better at selling a new
technology to a group of potential users.
