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&#x27;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.




Hank	Joseph	Susan	
8	8	10	
10	9	9	
			
9	9	10	
			
11	8	11	
			
10	10	9	



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
