Answer to Question 1

Possible samples:
Daniel-Daniel-Daniel, Daniel-Daniel-Sam, Daniel-Daniel-Carl, Daniel-Sam-Daniel, Daniel-Sam-Sam, Daniel-Sam-Carl, Daniel-Carl-Daniel, Daniel-Carl-Sam, Daniel-Carl-Carl, Sam-Daniel-Daniel, Sam-Daniel-Sam, Sam-Daniel-Carl, Sam-Sam-Daniel, Sam-Sam-Sam, Sam-Sam-Carl, Sam-Carl-Daniel, Sam-Carl-Sam, Sam-Carl-Carl, Carl-Daniel-Daniel, Carl-Daniel-Sam, Carl-Daniel-Carl, Carl-Sam-Daniel, Carl-Sam-Sam, Carl-Sam-Carl, Carl-Carl-Daniel, Carl-Carl-Sam, Carl-Carl-Carl

Proportions: 1, 1, 2/3, 1, 1, 2/3, 2/3, 2/3, 1/3, 1, 1, 2/3, 1, 1, 2/3, 2/3, 2/3, 1/3, 2/3, 2/3, 1/3, 2/3, 2/3, 1/3, 1/3, 1/3, 0

The sampling distribution of proportions consists of the 27 proportions paired with the probability of 1/27.
The mean of the sampling distribution is 2/3

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.

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.
