Question 2 [9 marks]
The alignment between the magnetic tape and head in a magnetic tape storage system affects the
performance of the system. Suppose that 10% of the read operations are degraded by skewed
alignments, 5% of the read operations are degraded by off-center alignments, and the remaining
read operations are properly aligned. The probability of a read error is 0.01 from a skewed
alignment, 0.02 from an off-center alignment, and 0.001 from a proper alignment.
