Expert Solution

Step 1

Illusion of control is an tendency or bias to think that we have the control on the event which in reality is uncontrollable.

It can affect people in many ways like participating in risky behaviors or rituals like gambling or ruminating over past event etc. For instance Rosie here is thinking that she knows everything about the machines that which one is hot or not. She thinks she figured it out but in reality it does not affect the outcome. in gambling people hold the dice very tightly before throwing as they believe that they can get desired number by doing that but in reality it is not true.
