Video: Confidence Intervals from Bootstrap Resampling [8 min]
We introduce bootstrap resampling and construct confidence intervals using resampling error, which we can see, in place of sampling error, which we cannot see.

After you鈥檝e watched this video, you should be able to answer these questions:
- What is bootstrap re-sampling? How do we generate a bootstrap-resample?
- What would happen if we took our re-samples using the ordinary way of sampling (without replacement)?
- What do we notice from the animations shown about bootstrap re-sampling error and sampling error?
- Why don鈥檛 we just use sampling error to make our confidence intervals? What do we do instead?
- Does the development in this video demonstrate that bootstrap confidence intervals will work as a way of addressing the 鈥渉ow wrong could we be鈥� problem?
