Find the probability that two randomly selected drive-thru orders are both accurate given the data in the table. Assume the selections are made with replacement. Determine if the events are independent.
a. The probability is (336×260)(336+33)×(260+50)\frac{(336 \times 260)}{(336 + 33) \times (260 + 50)}. The events are independent.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total number of orders from each restaurant is the sum of accurate and not accurate orders. . The selections are made with replacement, meaning after each selection, the order is put back into the pool.
3. The probability of an event occurring is the number of ways that event can occur divided by the total number of outcomes.
4. The events are independent, meaning the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other event.

STEP 2

First, we need to calculate the total number of orders for each restaurant. We do this by adding the number of accurate orders and not accurate orders.
Totalordersforeachrestaurant=OrderAccurate+OrderNotAccurateTotal\, orders\, for\, each\, restaurant = Order\, Accurate + Order\, Not\, Accurate

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for each restaurant to calculate the total number of orders.
For restaurant ATotalordersA=336+33Total\, orders\, A =336 +33For restaurant BTotalordersB=260+50Total\, orders\, B =260 +50For restaurant CTotalordersC=240+32Total\, orders\, C =240 +32For restaurant DTotalordersD=140+11Total\, orders\, D =140 +11

STEP 4

Calculate the total number of orders for each restaurant.
For restaurant ATotalordersA=336+33=369Total\, orders\, A =336 +33 =369For restaurant BTotalordersB=260+50=310Total\, orders\, B =260 +50 =310For restaurant CTotalordersC=240+32=272Total\, orders\, C =240 +32 =272For restaurant DTotalordersD=140+11=151Total\, orders\, D =140 +11 =151

STEP 5

Next, we need to calculate the probability of an order being accurate for each restaurant. We do this by dividing the number of accurate orders by the total number of orders.
Probabilityofaccurateorder=OrderAccurate/TotalordersProbability\, of\, accurate\, order = Order\, Accurate / Total\, orders

STEP 6

Now, plug in the given values for each restaurant to calculate the probability of an accurate order.
For restaurant AProbabilityA=336/369Probability\, A =336 /369For restaurant BProbabilityB=260/310Probability\, B =260 /310For restaurant CProbabilityC=240/272Probability\, C =240 /272For restaurant DProbabilityD=140/151Probability\, D =140 /151

STEP 7

Calculate the probability of an accurate order for each restaurant.
For restaurant AProbabilityA=336/369=0.9103Probability\, A =336 /369 =0.9103For restaurant BProbabilityB=260/310=0.8387Probability\, B =260 /310 =0.8387For restaurant CProbabilityC=240/272=0.8824Probability\, C =240 /272 =0.8824For restaurant DProbabilityD=140/151=0.9272Probability\, D =140 /151 =0.9272

STEP 8

Now, we need to calculate the total probability of an order being accurate. We do this by adding the probabilities of each restaurant.
Totalprobability=ProbabilityA+ProbabilityB+ProbabilityC+ProbabilityDTotal\, probability = Probability\, A + Probability\, B + Probability\, C + Probability\, D

STEP 9

Plug in the calculated probabilities for each restaurant to calculate the total probability.
Totalprobability=.9103+.8387+.8824+.9272Total\, probability =.9103 +.8387 +.8824 +.9272

STEP 10

Calculate the total probability.
Totalprobability=0.9103+0.8387+0.8824+0.9272=3.5586Total\, probability =0.9103 +0.8387 +0.8824 +0.9272 =3.5586

STEP 11

Since we are selecting two orders, and the events are independent, we multiply the total probability by itself to find the probability that both orders are accurate.
Probabilitybothaccurate=TotalprobabilitytimesTotalprobabilityProbability\, both\, accurate = Total\, probability \\times Total\, probability

STEP 12

Plug in the calculated total probability to find the probability that both orders are accurate.
Probabilitybothaccurate=.5586times.5586Probability\, both\, accurate =.5586 \\times.5586

STEP 13

Calculate the probability that both orders are accurate.
Probabilitybothaccurate=3.5586times3.5586=12.6642Probability\, both\, accurate =3.5586 \\times3.5586 =12.6642The probability that both orders are accurate is12.6642 or1266.42%.
