4 MULTIPLE CHOICE Edit

Using a computer, we took 10,000 bootstrap samples and computed the

standard deviation for each. This is called the _____________ distribution of the
standard deviation.

Answer choices

A sampling

B normal

C bootstrap

D null

5 MULTIPLE CHOICE Edit

The textbook explanation of bootstrap is to study the distribution of a statistic

that is complicated to do mathematically. It focuses on studying the standard
deviation, and in particular looking at its sampling distribution, which is the
distribution of the standard deviation computed on all possible samples from
the population. The textbook states "The bootstrap distribution for the
standard deviation will be a good approximation of the sampling distribution
for the standard deviation when": (choose all that apply)

Answer choices

A observations in the original sample are independent

B the original sample size is at least 30

C the bootstrap distribution is nearly normal

D none of these

6 MULTIPLE CHOICE Edit

To compute a 90% bootstrap confidence interval using the percentile method,

you need to

(1) draw B bootstrap samples.

(2) compute the statistic of interest, call it thetahat, on each of these.

(3) order the values of thetahat, giving the sample quantiles

(4) select the x'th and the y'th values

What are x and y?

Answer choices

A 2.5, 97.5

B 5, 95

C 10, 90

D None of these

7 TRUE/FALSE Edit
