Three attempts are made to read data in a magnetic storage
Chapter 2, Problem 18E(choose chapter or problem)
Problem 18E
Three attempts are made to read data in a magnetic storage device before an error recovery procedure that repositions the magnetic head is used. The error recovery procedure attempts three repositionings before an “abort’’ message is sent to the operator. Let
s denote the success of a read operation
f denote the failure of a read operation
S denote the success of an error recovery procedure
F denote the failure of an error recovery procedure
A denote an abort message sent to the operator
Describe the sample space of this experiment with a tree diagram.

ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1 of 2:
The given random experiment in which three attempts are made to read data in a magnetic storage device before an error recovery procedure that repositions the magnetic head is used. And the error recovery procedure attempts three repositionings before an “abort” message is sent to the operator.
We have to describe the sample space by using a tree diagram.
