Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bootstrap resamples are taken with replacement to introduce variability into the sample while maintaining the same sample size. This allows for the calculation of standard errors, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. Without replacement sampling would decrease the sample size and may affect the validity of the estimates. Choice C is also not a good option because it is ambiguous and doesn't provide guidance on the best approach for bootstrapping.
