Sampling is a cornerstone of inference statistics and hypothesis testing. It's tremendously important in survey analysis and experimental design. This course explains when and why sampling is important, teaches you how to perform common types of sampling, from simple random sampling to more complex methods like stratified and cluster sampling. Later, the course covers estimating population statistics, and quantifying uncertainty in your estimates by generating sampling distributions and bootstrap distributions. Throughout the course, you'll explore real-world datasets on coffee ratings, Spotify songs, and employee attrition.

Bootstrap resamples should be the same size as the original sample.

Each row in the dataset should have an equally likely chance of being drawn in a resample.

A bootstrap distribution consists of many replicates of the statistic of interest.

Resampling means sampling without replacement.

Bootstrap samples should be smaller than the original sample.

The statistic of interest for each bootstrap sample is always the mean.

A bootstrap distribution is the same thing as a sampling distribution.
