Sampling with replacement
Bootstrapping is great for calculating confidence intervals for means; you'll now practice doing just that!
nba_weights contains the weights of a group of NBA players in kilograms:
nba_weights = [96.7, 101.1, 97.9, 98.1, 98.1,
100.3, 101.0, 98.0, 97.4]
You are interested in calculating the 95% confidence interval of the mean weight of NBA players using this list.
The following have been imported for you: random, and numpy as np.

- Use
random.choices()to sample nine heights from the list 1,000 times, with replacement. - Calculate the mean and 95% confidence interval for your simulation results, assigning the lower end of the confidence interval to
lowerand the upper end toupper.
