Chapter 7.4, Problem 6BSC

In Exercises 5–8, use the relatively small number of given bootstrap samples to construct the confidence interval.

6. Seating Choice In a 3M Privacy Filters poll, respondents were asked to identify their favorite seat when they fly, and the results include these responses: window, window, other, other. Letting “window” = 1 and letting “other” = 0, here are ten bootstrap samples for those responses: {0, 0, 0 ,0}, {0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 1,0}, {1, 1, 1, 0}, {0, 1, 1, 0}, {1, 0, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 1, 1}, {1, 0, 1, 0 }, {1, 0, 0, 1}. Using only the ten given bootstrap samples, construct an 80% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of respondents who indicated their favorite seat is “window.”
