skewness statistic and the sample coefficient of kurtosis (see
Chapter 3).
7.8. Using the law data set in Example 7.4, find the jackknife replicates
of the median. How many different values are there? What is the
jackknife estimate of the standard error of the median? Use the boot-
strap method to get an estimate of the standard error of the median.
Compare the two estimates of the standard error of the median.
7.9. For the data in Example 7.7, use the bootstrap and the jackknife to
estimate the standard error of the mean. Compare the two estimates.
7.10. Using the data in Example 7.8, find the bootstrap-t interval and the
bootstrap percentile interval. Compare these to the BC a interval
found in Example 7.8.
