Muddiest Points

I think someone mentioned this during class, and I agree: in theory, stats always makes sense, but it would be great to see practical examples and work through problems together.

I’m still unclear when it is appropriate to use bootstrapping

why resampling is useful? just to correct CI for non-normal data?
