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 read error is 0.01 from a skewed alignment, 0.02 from an off-center alignments, and 0.001 from a proper alignment .what is the probability of a read error?

In a study of the relationship between socio-economic class and unethical behavior, 129 university of california undergraduates at berkeley were asked to identify themselves as having low or high social-class by comparing themselves to others with the most (least) money, most (least) education, and most (least) respected jobs. they were also presented with a jar of individually wrapped candies and informed that the candies were for children in a nearby laboratory, but that they could take some if they wanted. after completing some unrelated tasks, participants reported the number of candies they had taken. it was found that those who were identiď¬ed as upper-class took more candy than others. in this study, identify: (a) the cases, (b) the variables and their types, (c) the main research question, (d) identify the population of interest and the sample in this study, and (e) comment on whether or not the results of the study can be generalized to the population, and if the ď¬ndings of the study can be used to establish causal relationships.
