You can find the bootstrap project from class at: https://rstudio.cloud/spaces/4116/project/112636

  1. Review the code from class that generated a bootstrap confidence interval for the median income of the husbands.

    • Does the sample median seem to be unbiased in this example? How can you use the bootstrap distribution to justify your answer?
    • One argument for the weird bootstrap distribution for the median might be that we didn’t do a big enough Monte Carlo. Try doing 5000 bootstrap samples instead, does it help?
  2. Repeat the procedure to answer the questions in the Your Turn section at the end. Your RMD document should be complete in that it answer all questions, so you might like to add another section for each question, or start a new document for additional questions. Make sure the answer to each question is presented in text (a good chance to practice writing summaries).

    • Which estimators have the most symmetric sampling distributions?
    • Can you compare any of the confidence intervals to theoretically motivated confidence intervals? Compare them.
