Question

does the interval covering the middle 90% of the bootstrap estimates include the value of obs mean estimate? if you ran the entire bootstrapping process again and again, what is the probability that it will include the actual population value of n?

Answer 1

If we took repeated samples, approximately 90 percent of the confidence intervals calculated from those samples would contain the true value of the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option c.

If we took repeated samples, approximately 90 percent of the confidence intervals calculated from those samples would contain the true value of the population mean.

For example, if we constructed 100 of these confidence intervals, we would expect 90 of them to contain the true population mean.

A 90% confidence interval means that if the bootstrapping process is repeated multiple times, about 90% of the constructed confidence intervals are expected to contain the true population mean. The inclusion of the observed mean estimate in a single interval does not confirm the location of the population mean.
