4. Jack's sister ordered 30 bottles of wine for her birthday party. A covid lock-down caused her to cancel her (traditionally extravagant) party this year and so she could not use the wine. Instead she decided to store the wine in a spare room for 12 months and to use it next year. Unfortunately, this wine is Jack's favourite. To ensure that the wine is not spoiling in storage, Jack decides to quietly sample 5 bottles of his sisters wine. (a) How many possible ways can 5 bottles be chosen from a total of 30 if we do not care about the order in which they are chosen? (b) Over the coming year, Jack attempts to quietly sample 1 bottle per month. What is the probability that Jack samples exactly 5 bottles when the probability of successfully sampling 1 bottle is 0.25? (Hint: assume that the quietness of his actions guarantees the likelihood of success does not change between attempts).

A shoe company wants to determine if the new tread on its top line of running shoes lasts longer than the original tread. The company recruits 50 runners for a study. Each runner will perform their typical workout wearing one shoe with the original tread on one foot and another shoe with the new tread on the other foot. The foot that wears the new type of tread will be decided by flipping a coin. After one month, the runner will wear the new type of tread on the opposite foot. At the end of the second month, the difference in tread wear (New - Original) will be calculated. What type of sampling is described in this study? What is the appropriate inference procedure? one-sample t-test for μ one-sample z-test for p one-sample t-test for diff two-sample t-test for new original
