Q1.25

Consider the following floating-point number representation.

$$\overset{31 \quad \qquad 24 \quad 23 \qquad\quad 0} {\begin{array}{|l|l|}\hline \text{Exponent} & \text{Mantissa} \\\hline \end{array}}$$

The exponent is in $2’s$ complement representation and the mantissa is in the sign-magnitude representation. The range of the magnitude of the normalized numbers in this representation is
