Chapter 3: Q14E (page 169)

Mobile access to social media. The Marketing Management Journal (Fall 2014) published the results of a designed study to investigate satisfaction with the use of mobile devices to access social media. Mobile device users were classified by gender (male or female) and by the social media they use most often (Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube). Consider a similar study in which 10 males and 10 females were sampled for each of the three social media鈥攁 total of 60 mobile device users. One of these users is randomly selected. Of interest are his or her gender and most used social media.

a. Use a tree diagram to determine the possible outcomes (sample points) for this experiment.

b. Why should the probabilities assigned to each outcome be equal? Give the value of this probability.

c. Find the probability that the selected user is a female who accesses Twitter most often.

d. Find the probability that the selected user accesses YouTube most often.

Short Answer

Expert verified

  1. P (Male Facebook access by mobile) = 1/6

    P (Male Twitter access by mobile) = 1/6

    P (Male YouTube access by mobile) = 1/6

    P (Female Facebook access by mobile) = 1/6

    P (Female Twitter access by mobile) = 1/6

    P (Female YouTube access by mobile) = 1/6.

  2. P(assignedtoeachoutcome)=16

  3. P(female)=0.5

  4. P(YouTube)=0.3333

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Identify the outcomes by using a tree diagram

Tree diagrams are a means of presenting combinations of two or more events. Each branch is named at the conclusion with its outcome, and the probability is printed alongside the line. Two occurrences are independent if the chance of the first event happening does not influence the probability of the second event happening.

02

Identify the probabilities assigned to each outcome

The probabilities given to each outcome are equal to 10 males sampled for Facebook, 10 males sampled for Twitter, and 10 males sampled for YouTube. Similarly, 10 females are sampled for Facebook, 10 females for Twitter, and 10 for YouTube.

Hence, 10 individuals are sampled for each combination of gender and media.

P(assignedtoeachoutcome)=1060=16

Hence, the probability assigned is1/6.

03

Identify the probabilities that the selected user is a female who accesses twitter

Number of females are sampled for twitter (f) = 10

Number of individuals are sampled for twitter (n) = 20 (10 female + 10 male).

The probability that the selected user is a female who accesses Twitter is:

P(femalewhoaccesstwitter)=fn=1020=0.5

Hence, the probability of the selected user being a female who accesses Twitter is0.5.

04

Identify the probability that the selected user accesses YouTube most often

The total number of individuals are sampled (N) = 60

Number of individuals sampled for YouTube (n) = 20 (10 female +10 male).

The probability that the selected users access YouTube most often:

P(YouTube)=nN=2060=0.3333

Hence, the probability of selected users accessing YouTube is0.3333.

Random shuffling of songs on Spotify. Spotify is a music streaming service that offers both free and subscription options. Users can create playlists and choose to use Spotify鈥檚 random shuffling feature to play back the songs. When the shuffling feature was first introduced, many users complained that the algorithm was not working. For example, in a playlist consisting of 2 songs by The White Stripes, 2 by Adele, and 1 by Maroon Five, two possible random orderings of the songs are:

A = {Adele 1, Adele 2, White Stripes 1, White Stripes 2, Maroon Five}

B = {Adele 2, White Stripes 1, Maroon Five, White Stripes 2, Adele 1}

  1. Find the probability that Adele 1 is selected as the first song to play from the playlist.
  2. Given that Adele 1 is selected as the first song, what is the probability that Adele 2 is selected as the second song to play from the playlist?
  3. Given that Adele 1 and Adele 2 are the first two songs selected, what is the probability that White Stripes 1 is selected as the third song to play from the playlist?
  4. Given that Adele 1, Adele 2, and White Stripes 1 are the first three songs selected, what is the probability that White Stripes 2 is selected as the fourth song to play from the playlist?
  5. Given that Adele 1, Adele 2, White Stripes 1 and White Stripes 2 are the first four songs selected, what is the probability that Maroon Five is selected as the last song to play from the playlist?
  6. Find the probability of List A by multiplying the probabilities in parts a鈥揺.
  7. Many users considered List B to be random, but not List A. Demonstrate that the probability of List B is the same as the probability of List A. [Note: In response to user complaints, Spotify now uses a different random shuffling algorithm, one that prevents an outcome like List A from occurring.]

The sample space for an experiment contains five sample points with probabilities as shown in the table. Find the probability of each of the following events:

a. Either 1,2 or 3 occurs

b. Either 1,3 or 5 occurs

c. 4 does not occur

A number between 1 and 10, inclusive, is randomly chosen, and the events A and B are defined as follows:

A: [The number is even.]

B: [The number is less than 7.]

a. Identify the sample points in the event A鈭�B.

b. Identify the sample points in the event A鈭�B.

c. Which expression represents the event that the number is even or less than 7 or both?

d. Which expression represents the event that the number is both even and less than 7?

Advertising proposals. The manager of an advertising department has asked her creative team to propose six new ideas for an advertising campaign for a major client. She will choose three of the six proposals to present to the client. The proposals were named A, B, C, D, E, and F, respectively.

a. In how many ways can the manager select the three proposals? List the possibilities.

b. It is unlikely that the manager will randomly select three of the six proposals, but if she does, what is the probability that she will select proposals A, D, and E?

In a random sample of 106 social (or service) robots designed to entertain, educate, and care for human users, 63 were built with legs only, 20 with wheels only, 8 with both legs and wheels, and 15 with neither legs nor wheels. One of the 106 social robots is randomly selected and the design (e.g., wheels only) is noted.

  1. List the sample points for this study.
  2. Assign reasonable probabilities to the sample points.
  3. What is the probability that the selected robot is designed with wheels?
  4. What is the probability that the selected robot is designed with legs?
