In floating point representation, the following argument states "Increasing the size of the fraction field and decreasing the exponent field will increase the accuracy of the numbers and increase the range of the numbers". a) Discuss this argument's correctness by considering two scenarios. The first is for a double precision biased IEEE 754 (as defined in chapter 4), while the second is for another double precision of 64-bits having 1 bit for sign, 8 bits for exponent field, and 55 bits for fraction. b) Discuss the tradeoffs when choosing the second scenario (mentioned in (a) above) on performance
