What is the primary trade-off between lossy and lossless data compression methods?
Lossless compression always achieves smaller file sizes than lossy compression by removing all redundant data.
Lossy compression preserves all original data but compresses it more efficiently than lossless compression.
Lossy compression reduces file size by discarding some information, while lossless compression preserves all data but achieves less reduction.

Lossy Compression
How deliberate data loss powers the digital media revolution

Why does lossy compression achieve higher data reduction compared to lossless compression?
Because it uses more advanced algorithms that perfectly preserve all original data.
Because it compresses data without any loss, just like lossless compression but more efficiently.
Because it discards some data by approximating content, sacrificing perfect accuracy for smaller size.

What is the primary trade-off between lossy and lossless data compression methods?
Lossless compression removes unnecessary data to reduce file size more than lossy compression.
Lossy compression always preserves all original data but compresses it more efficiently than lossless.
Lossy compression sacrifices some data accuracy for smaller file size, while lossless compression preserves all data but achieves less reduction.
