3.(20 pts) Answer the following questions in a disk system with multiple hard disks: a) If a disk system contains 1,000 disk drives (uniquely numbered as HID 0001 HID1000), and the probability of an individual disk failure is 1/100,000. What will be the probability that the system experiences any disk failure (i.e., any one disk fails)? Note that failures happen independently. b) In the same system as described in a), two copies of a data block are stored in HID200 and HID300. What is the probability that the system loses the data block due to the concurrent failure of HID200 and HID300?
