Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bootstrapping involves repeatedly taking samples from the original data set with replacement. The new samples can have the same size as the original data set or a smaller size. In this case, the original data set has 8 values, so each sample collected during the bootstrapping process can have up to 8 scores. Therefore, the best choice is D, which allows for the maximum possible sample size. Choices A, B, and C would not allow for all of the original data to be included in each sample.
