In Exercises 9鈥20, use the data in the following table, which lists drive-thru order accuracy at popular fast food chains (data from a QSR Drive-Thru Study). Assume that orders are randomly selected from those included in the table.

Fast Food Drive-Thru Accuracy If three different orders are selected, find the probability that they are all not accurate.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that all three orders are inaccurate is equal to 0.00158.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given data shows the number of accurate and inaccurate food orders at drive-thru centers of four fast food chains.

02

Multiplication rule of probability

For three events A, B, and C to occur simultaneously, the following probability is calculated:

PAandBandC=PAPBPC

03

Calculation

The table below shows the subtotals for each category:

Total=1118

The total number of food orders is equal to 1118.

Let E be the event of selecting an inaccurate food order on the first selection.

Let F be the event of selecting an inaccurate food order on the second selection.

Let G be the event of selecting an inaccurate food order on the third selection.

The number of inaccurate food orders is equal to 131.

The probability of selecting an inaccurate food order on the first selection is equal to:

PE=1311118

The remaining total number of orders and the number of inaccurate orders will decrease by 1.

The probability of selecting an inaccurate food order on the second selection is equal to:

PF=1301117

For the third selection, the remaining total number of orders and the number of inaccurate orders will further decrease by 1.

The probability of selecting an inaccurate food order on the third selection is equal to:

PG=1291116

The probability of selecting three inaccurate orders is given by:

PEandFandG=PEPFPG=131111813011171291116=0.00158

Therefore, the probability of selecting three inaccurate orders is equal to 0.00158.

In Exercises 17鈥20, refer to the accompanying table showing results from a Chembio test for hepatitis C among HIV-infected patients (based on data from a variety of sources).

Negative Predictive Value Find the negative predictive value for the test. That is, find the probability that a subject does not have hepatitis C, given that the test yields a negative result. Does the result make the test appear to be effective?

Redundancy in Computer Hard Drives Assume that there is a 3% rate of disk drive failures in a year (based on data from various sources including lifehacker.com).

a. If all of your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? Express the result with four decimal places.

b. If copies of all of your computer data are stored on three independent hard disk drives, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? Express the result with six decimal places. What is wrong with using the usual round-off rule for probabilities in this case?

Denomination Effect. In Exercises 13鈥16, use the data in the following table. In an experiment to study the effects of using four quarters or a \(1 bill, college students were given either four quarters or a \)1 bill and they could either keep the money or spend it on gum. The results are summarized in the table (based on data from 鈥淭he Denomination Effect,鈥 by Priya Raghubir and Joydeep Srivastava, Journal of Consumer Research, Vol. 36).

Using Probability to Form Conclusions. In Exercises 37鈥40, use the given probability value to determine whether the sample results could easily occur by chance, then form a conclusion.

Buckle Up A study of the effect of seatbelt use in head-on passenger car collisions found that drivers using a seatbelt had a 64.1% survival rate, while drivers not using a seatbelt had a 41.5% survival rate. If seatbelts have no effect on survival rate, there is less than a 0.0001 chance of getting these results (based on data from 鈥淢ortality Reduction with Air Bag and Seat Belt Use in Head-on Passenger Car Collisions,鈥 by Crandall, Olson, Sklar, American Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 153, No. 3). What do you conclude?
