Students interests. A student is chosen at random. Let A, B and C to be events that the student is an Accounting major, a Baseball player, or a Computer Science club member. The events are independent, and we are told that:

P(A)=P(B)=P(C)=0.17

a.Discuss if A and B are mutually exclusive events.

b.Find the probability that the student is not an Accounting major.

c.Find the probability that the student is a Baseball player or a Computer Science club member.

d.Find the probability that the student participates in at least one of these three programs.

A student is interested in the sleep quality of students. That student selects a random sample of 21 students (age 19-24 years) from each four undergraduate years (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior), and applies Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and obtains their responses. PSQI includes 19 self-reported items and is designed to evaluate overall sleep quality (Data are presented in Table 1 below). The student is interested in determining whether there is any evidence of a difference in sleep quality...
