Instructions

  • Compute the mean fractional difference using np.mean(). The variable f from the last exercise is already in your namespace.
  • Draw 10,000 bootstrap replicates of the mean fractional difference using dcst.draw_bs_reps(). Store the result in a numpy array named bs_reps.
  • Compute the 95% confidence interval using np.percentile().
  • Hit 'Submit Answer' to print the mean fractional improvement and 95% confidence interval to the screen.
