Answer to Question 1

When a null hypothesis is tested using sample information, it is expected that sampling error will exist. It is possible that the sampling error will lead to an error in the conclusion that is reached with respect to the null hypothesis. For example, if the null hypothesis is true, extreme sampling error will push the test statistic into the rejection region. Rejecting a true null hypothesis is called a Type I error. Also, if the null hypothesis is false, the sample data may be such that we do not reject the null hypothesis. Accepting a false null hypothesis is referred to as a Type II error.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
