Question details

Problem 3 (15 points) Suppose a new standard MAE384-15 is defined to store floating point numbers using 15 bits. The first bit is used to store the sign as in IEEE-754, the next 6 bits store the exponent plus the appropriate bias, and the remaining 8 bits store the mantissa. As in IEEE-754, an exponent and mantissa of all zero bits is used to indicate true zero, and an exponent of all one bits together with a mantissa of all zero bits is used to store +/- infinity. Determine by hand in decimal format a) the bias for same number of positive and negative exponents; b) the smallest possible non-zero positive number; c) the largest possible finite positive number; d) the smallest possible difference between the number 1.0 x 10° and the next larger possible number Problem 3 requ ired submission: o Handwritten (or printed) all steps to obtain the answers, incl. the final answers.please show me the correct answer and the full step thanks
