Race organizers want to survey the participating runners on the quality of the running course. Which of the following uses systematic random sampling? Select the first 15 finishers and the last 15 finishers to take the survey. Randomly select 15% of the male participants and 15% of the female participants. Select the 5th finisher (with the number 5 being randomly chosen) to survey, then survey every 15th finisher after that. Sort all of the runners' names alphabetically, then randomly choose 2 letters and survey all participants whose last name begins with one of those letters.

Twelve runners are asked to run a 10-kilometer race on each of two consecutive weeks. In one of the races, the runners wear one brand of shoe and in the other, a different brand. The brand of shoe they wear in each race is determined at random. All runners are timed and are asked to run their best in each race. The results (in minutes) are given below. Runner Brand 1 Brand 2 1 31.23 32.02 2 29.33 28.98 3 30.50 30.63 4 32.20 32.67 5 33.08 32.95 6 31.52 31.53 7 30.68 30.83 8 31.05 31.10 9 33.00 33.12 10 29.67 29.50 11 30.55 30.57 12 32.12 32.20 Use the sign test for matched pairs to determine if there is evidence that times using Brand 1 tend to be faster than times using Brand 2.
