Find
(i) P(N |M) 
State, with reason, whether M and N are
(ii) mutually exclusive 
(iii) independent

b) The following table shows the results of a sample survey carried out by a fast-food restaurant to determine whether persons had noticed an improvement in its service in the last month

                         Voting Results
