1. (6pts) Consider a field containing 9 bits:
   1. What is the smallest non-negative integer that can be represented by this field?
   2. What is the largest non-negative integer that can be represented by this field?
   3. How many possible values can be represented by this field? (Hint: this is also called the RANGE)

2. (6pts) The Starship Enterprise is visiting a planet where the inhabitants have 8 fingers. Not surprisingly, they use a base 8 numbering system. The planet provides a beam-down coordinate of 4072 (in base 8). Translate this to base 10 so the crew can safely go on shore leave.

3. (12pts) Look up the ASCII and ANSI representations. Provide both the binary (use 8bits for both) and decimal values for the following characters:

Character	ASCII	ANSI
R	Binary: Decimal:	Binary: Decimal:
r	Binary: Decimal:	Binary: Decimal:
(Euro sign)	Binary: Decimal:	Binary: Decimal:
9	Binary: Decimal:	Binary: Decimal:

4. (6pts) Encode the following message into ASCII using eight bits per symbol. Use correct capitalization and punctuation for full credit.

Please take IT101's survey!

5. (6pts) The following are parity questions
   1. Assume odd parity and add a parity bit to 10110011
   2. Is the following data plus parity bit correct for odd parity? Why or why not? 010001110

Is the following data plus parity bit correct for even parity? Why or why not? 101010001
