function onTouched(hit)
	if hit.Name == "Coal" then
	hit.Position = (positions[math.random(1, #positions)])
	elseif hit.Name == "CleanedCoal" then
	hit.Position = (positions[math.random(1, #positions)])

Tables on ROBLOX are weird. The way to have another array/table inside of a table is to do this:

positions = {{-32.012, 2.03, -48.3},
             {-33.302, 2.03, -48.3},
             {-34.352, 2.03, -48.3},
             {-35.412, 2.03, -48.3},
             {-36.472, 2.03, -48.3}}

function onTouched(hit)
    pos = positions[math.random(1,#positions)] -- Even if it isn't the right block, just makes a value so you don't have to do it for each if-then pair
    if hit.Name == "Coal" then
    hit.Position = Vector3.new(pos[1],pos[2],pos[3]) -- Access the different positions inside the extracted table
    elseif hit.Name == "CleanedCoal" then
    hit.Position = Vector3.new(pos[1],pos[2],pos[3])
    elseif hit.Name == "CleanedPolishedCoal" then
    hit.Position = Vector3.new(pos[1],pos[2],pos[3])
    end
end
