(1) 3*2*1 = 6 different arrangements of the three groups of books

(2) 3*2*1 = 6 different arrangements of the three statistics books

(3) 2*1 = 2 different arrangements of the two epidemiology books

(4) 3*2*1 = 6 different arrangements of the three economics books

The total number of arrangements is 6*6*2*6 = 432

ANSWER: 432
