What is the total size of data generated by a motion sensor writing 600 items of 5 KB every minute?

To calculate the total size of data generated by the motion sensor, you need to understand how much data is produced each minute and then extend that calculation over a period of time.

The sensor generates 600 items, and each item is 5 KB in size. Therefore, you can calculate the total data generated in one minute by multiplying the number of items by the size of each item:

Total data per minute = Number of items × Size of each item = 600 items × 5 KB = 3000 KB

Since 1 MB is equal to 1024 KB, you can convert the data from KB to MB:

Total data per minute in MB = Total data per minute in KB ÷ 1024 = 3000 KB ÷ 1024 ≈ 2.93 MB

Since the question doesn't specify a particular time frame, if we stick to the 1-minute calculation, the result approximates around 3 MB.

However, it is important to clarify that if the choices provided suggest needing a rounded figure, the total data generated can be understood in the context of a time frame that has not been specified, or the choices might guide toward a simplified or rounded estimate.
