Calculating confidence intervals

You have learned about two methods for calculating confidence intervals: the quantile method and the standard error method. The standard error method involves using the inverse cumulative distribution function (inverse CDF) of the normal distribution to calculate confidence intervals. In this exercise, you'll perform these two methods on the Spotify data.

spotify_population, spotify_sample, and bootstrap_distribution are available; pandas and numpy are loaded with their usual aliases, and norm has been loaded from scipy.stats.
