Question

1) The 32-bit representation of a floating point number in the IEEE 754 standard is

a. in single precision

b. in double precision

c. as a scientific notation with right 8 bits as a whole part and the left 24 bits as a fraction.

d. as a scientific notation with left 8 bits as a whole part and the right 24 bits as a fraction.

2) The clock signal is used by the control system to turn parts of the CPU combinational logic ON and OFF. Which parts to turn ON and OFF depends on
