Are the following statements true?

1. If Biased Exponent > Bias ,then Actual exponent is +ve.

2. If Biased Exponent < Bias ,then Actual exponent is -ve.

Please tell reason also,as per me both should be false as Biased is already maximum positive number,adding something to it will cause overflow.So 1st should be -ve and second should be +ve,Please correct if I am wrong

both are correct if

Biased Exponent > Bias----here bias refers to 127 which is added to the signed exponent for example consider exponent as +5 now 127 will be added so Biased Exponent = 132 and Bias= 127 which satisfies above

similarly for -5  Biased Exponent = 122 and bias = 127 which again satisfies second statement and also when they are both equal the only case is exponent being 0
