Museum management. Refer to the Museum Management and Curatorship (June 2010) study of the criteria used to evaluate museum performance, Exercise 2.14 (p. 74). Recall that the managers of 30 leading museums of contemporary art were asked to provide the performance measure used most often. A summary of the results is reproduced in the table. Performance Measure Number of Museums Total visitors 8 Paying visitors 5 Big shows 6 Funds raised 7 Members 4

a. If one of the 30 museums is selected at random, what is the probability that the museum uses total visitors or funds raised most often as a performance measure?

b. Consider two museums of contemporary art randomly selected from all such museums. Of interest is whether or not the museums use total visitors or funds raised most often as a performance measure. Use a tree diagram to aid in listing the sample points for this problem.

c. Assign reasonable probabilities to the sample points of part b.

d. Refer to parts b and c. Find the probability that both museums use total visitors or funds raised most often as a performance measure.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. P(AB)=0
  2. Total visitors, paying visitors, big shows, Fund raised & members.
  3. 16/225, 28/450, 14/225, 49/900.
  4. 1/4

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Assess the probability that the museum will utilize total visitors or Fund raised as a performance measure the rest of the time

Let 'A' be the event in which a randomly selected museum utilizes total visitors as a performance measure the most often, and 'B' be the event in which funds raised are used as a performance measure. The probability that the museum utilizes total visitors or funds raised as a performance measure is:

P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AB)

As the Number of museums using total visitors as a performance measure = 8, So:

P(A)=830=415

As some museums use funds raised as performance measure = 7, So:

P(B)=730

Therefore,

P(AB)=415+7300=8+730=1530=12

P(AB)is the probability that the museum utilizes both total visitors and funds raised as performance measures cannot be done continuously.

Hence, P(AB)=0.

02

Use a tree diagram to aid in listing the sample points for this problem

As the tree diagram demonstrates, the probability is as follows:

03

Allocate the sample points.

Because the two museums can utilize any performance measure, they are completely independent. Therefore, the chances of either museum selecting any of the five measures remain the same.

Hence, the sample points' probabilities are as follows:

Museum1.Totalvisitors=830x830=64900=16225

Fundvisitors=830x730=56900=28450

Museum2.Totalvisitors=930x830=72900=14225

Fundvisitors=730x730=64900=49900

Hence, the probabilities of museums 1 & 2 are 16/225, 28/450, 14/225, and 49/900.

04

Find the probabilities of both the museum.

P=16225+28450+14225+49900=64+56+56+49900=225900=14

Hence, the probability of both the museum is 1/4.

Workers鈥 unscheduled absence survey. Each year CCH, Inc., a firm that provides human resources and employment law information, conducts a survey on absenteeism in the workplace. The latest CCH Unscheduled Absence Surveyfound that of all unscheduled work absences, 34% are due to 鈥減ersonal illness,鈥 22% for 鈥渇amily issues,鈥 18% for 鈥減ersonal needs,鈥 13% for 鈥渆ntitlement mentality,鈥 and 13% due to 鈥渟tress.鈥 Consider a randomly selected employee who has an unscheduled work absence.

a. List the sample points for this experiment.

b. Assign reasonable probabilities to the sample points.

c. What is the probability that the absence is due to something other than 鈥減ersonal illness鈥?

Study of why EMS workers leave the job. An investigation into why emergency medical service (EMS) workers leave the profession was published in the Journal of Allied Health (Fall 2011). The researchers surveyed a sample of 244 former EMS workers, of which 127 were fully compensated while on the job, 45 were partially compensated, and 72 had no compensated volunteer positions. EMS workers who left because of retirement were 7 for fully compensated workers, 11 for partially compensated workers, and 10 for no compensated volunteers. One of the 244 former EMS workers is selected at random.

a. Find the probability that the former EMS worker was fully compensated while on the job.

b. Find the probability that the former EMS worker was fully compensated while on the job and left due to retirement.

c. Find the probability that the former EMS worker was not fully compensated while on the job.

d. Find the probability that the former EMS worker was either fully compensated while on the job or left due to retirement.

Male nannies. In a survey conducted by the International Nanny Association (INA) and reported on the INA Web site (www.nanny.org), 4,176 nannies were placed in a job in a given year. Only 24 of the nannies placed were men. Find the probability that a randomly selected nanny placed during the last year is a male nanny (a 鈥渕annie鈥).
