The Introduction of Bootstrapping Techniques for Finding Confidence Intervals Using Simulation.

Kennedy, Kristin; Schumacher, Phyllis

Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, v12 n1 p83-92 1993

Describes the use of simulation to introduce the bootstrapping technique of creating confidence intervals for the mean, median, and variance. These bootstrap confidence intervals are compared to the traditional confidence intervals for the purpose of analyzing accuracy of the technique. A Minitab program to produce confidence intervals is included. (MDH)
