Question 241296: 1)A sales promoter offers a special price for a scanner with a printer. The probabilities that each functions satisfactorily over three years are 0.68 and 0.72 respectively. What is the probability that at the end of the three years:
i) Both scanner and printer will function satisfactorily?
ii) Only the printer will be functioning?
iii) At least one of the two machines will be functioning? State any assumptions made.

2)240 students were asked to taste three types of cola in a random order and were not told their identity. The contingency table below shows the counts of preferred colas classified by the subject specialism of students.
Cola A Cola B Cola C
Mathematics 13 23 44
Economics 36 24 10
Statistics 24 8 8
Management 11 28 11
Use These data to investigate the association, if any, between a student's subject specialism and preferred cola-type. Interpret any association which exists, testing at more than one significance level.

3)The times required by three workers to perform an assembly-line task were recorded on five randomly selected occasions. Here are the times, to the nearest minute.

Assuming the normality of populations under consideration, at the 5% significance level,
do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists between the times required by three workers to perform an assembly-line task?
Your kind assistance is highly appreciated

1)A sales promoter offers a special price for a scanner with a printer. The probabilities that each functions satisfactorily over three years are 0.68 and 0.72 respectively. What is the probability that at the end of the three years:
i) Both scanner and printer will function satisfactorily?
Ans: (0.68*0.72) = 0.4896..
ii) Only the printer will be functioning?
Ans: 0.72*(1-0.68) = 0.2304..
iii) At least one of the two machines will be functioning? State any assumptions made.
Ans: At least DISABLED_event_one= 1 - P(none)
At least DISABLED_event_one= 1 - (1-0.72)(1-0.68) = 0.9104

Use These data to investigate the association, if any, between a student's subject specialism and preferred cola-type. Interpret any association which exists, testing at more than one significance level.
Ho: The row and column factors are independent.
H1: They are dependent
I ran an ANOVA-test on the data and got:
test statistic: F = 0.05486...
p-value: 0.9469
Since the p-value is greater even then 10%, do not reject
Ho at the 10% significance level.
The row and column factors are independent.

Note: The data posted is too confusing to decipher.
