Which of the following statements about IEEE 754 single-precision representation is incorrect? Group of answer choices The smallest denormalized positive number is 0x0000 0001. The smallest normalized positive number is 0x0080 0000. None of them. Zero can be represented as either 0x0000 0000 or 0x8000 0000.

In single precision (IEEE-754 standard), 8 bits are used for storing the exponent (the bias is 127), and 23 bits are used for storing the mantissa. (a) What are the smallest and the largest positive numbers that can be stored in single precision? (b) What is the smallest value of the mantissa that can be stored?
