Table 13.3: LOCUS OF CONTROL Complete the table by placing each example in the correct column. Internal Becoming a success is a matter of hard work; luck has little or nothing to do with it. Getting a good job depends mainly on being in the right place at the right time. There is a direct connection between how hard I study and the grades I get. External Trusting fate has never turned out as well for me as making a decision to take a definite course of action. Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough control over the direction my life is taking. Most of the time I can't understand why politicians behave the way they do.

Consider the following experiment: In conducting a study to determine the effectiveness of a cough suppressant, a sample of 820 people with coughing afflictions was selected and each person was administered a dose of the suppressant. The random variable of interest is the number of people who stopped coughing after receiving the suppressant. (Assume that once given the suppressant, either the person STOPS coughing or DOESN'T STOP coughing). Which of the following conditions apply: - A sequence of repeatable trials: YES / NO (Circle One) - The outcomes of the trials are independent: YES / NO (Circle One) - Each trial results in two outcomes: YES / NO (Circle One) - For any trial, the probability of "success" is fixed: YES / NO (Circle One) - As a result, the given experiment IS / IS NOT (Circle One) a Binomial Experiment.

Use the data in the following table, which lists drive-thru order accuracy at popular fast food chains. Assume that orders are randomly selected from those included in the table. Drive-thru Restaurant A B C D Order Accurate 338 266 230 127 Order Not Accurate 34 57 31 14 If two orders are selected, find the probability that they are both from Restaurant D. a. Assume that the selections are made with replacement. Are the events independent? b. Assume that the selections are made without replacement. Are the events independent? a. Assume that the selections are made with replacement. Are the events independent? The probability of getting two orders from Restaurant D is nothing. The events are independent because choosing the first order does not affect the choice of the second order. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

4.2 Use the data in the following table, which lists drive-thru order accuracy at popular fast food chains. Assume that orders are randomly selected from those included in the table. Drive-thru Restaurant A B C D Order Accurate 317 273 249 135 Order Not Accurate 38 59 37 15 If two orders are selected, find the probability that they are both from Restaurant D. a. Assume that the selections are made with replacement. Are the events independent? b. Assume that the selections are made without replacement. Are the events independent? a. Assume that the selections are made with replacement. Are the events independent? The probability of getting two orders from Restaurant D is nothing. The events ARE OR ARE NOT independent because choosing the first order AFFECTS OR DOES NOT AFFECT the probability of the choice of the second order. (Do not round until the final answer. Round to four decimal places as needed.)
