Statistics & technology

So, a switch breaks interrupting DNS for our ISP and one of the two major cell providers in the area. It breaks just as our group is scheduled to join a webinar. 

We have three iPhones: one iPhone 4, one iPhone 4S, one 5. We have a dongle to project the webinar- it is compatible with the 4S. The 4 and the 5  have access to the Internet... the dongle is compatible only with the 4S. We only listened to the webinar via phone. 

This situation looks like a great statistics problem... P(phone has access to 'net)... P(phone is compatible with the dongle)... I miss teaching math.
