sampling variability

Thank you to Prof. Chris Wild, University of Auckland for making these animations.

Notice that the data (blue dots) changes each time a sample is taken.

Notice that the median (the blue line) changes each time a sample is taken.

Notice that the bootstrap confidence interval distribution changes each time a sample is taken, and the confidence interval often changes.

However is it likely that the conclusion will change?

Notice that the bootstrap confidence interval gets narrower as the sample size increases.
