-answer to the first question is incorrect. Two rules is the wrong answer. You should get well over 30 rules. Because of this error, all your answers (Question 2 and 3) are also incorrect. When you first click on Association Rules in Excel Data Science add-in, it will give you a popup window. Make sure you enter the correct data range in the “Data range” field. You should exclude column A from the analysis because it is not useful for this analysis and you will select all other columns and all rows. You should manually type in the data range values in this field and make sure you anchor ($) the rows and the columns in this data field ie enter $B$1:$AY$401.
