Assume we have a 16-bit computer. For signs, "1" represents negative. Floating point representation uses 1 bit for the sign, 5 bits for the exponent, and 10 bits (plus one hidden bit) for the significand. The exponent is stored in excess-15. For both of the following parts consider each of four formats. Note - there are eight answers (4 per part) to this question. 1. . unsigned integer . sign-magnitude integer 2's complement integer floating point a) The contents of two adjacent bytes are described by the base 16 value AB50,s. For each of the formats above, give the value in base 10 of the number that these bytes would represent under the given format
