Bootstrap Uncertainty for a batting average

Built for engineers using it for real design work. Go from concept to a running model in the browser, then scale to the cloud when needed. Simulate a batting average live below — adjust the inputs and watch it respond, right in your browser.

Bootstrap ResamplingLive

Presets

The bootstrap estimates uncertainty by resampling your data with replacement thousands of times and recomputing the statistic each time. The spread of those bootstrap means gives a confidence interval — no formula or normality assumption required. Powerful when the math is intractable.

Reading this result: The spread of the resampled means is the confidence interval — no normality assumption needed. Sample size sets its width; more resamples only sharpen its edges.

Presets

A confidence interval is often misread. It does not mean the true value has a 95% chance of being in one interval — it means that if you repeated the experiment many times, about 95% of the intervals would contain the true mean. The red intervals here are the unlucky ones that miss it.

Governing equation

Reading this result: About 0% of these 50 intervals captured the true mean — close to the 95% you asked for. Raising n from 30 tightens each interval (SE = σ/√n) but does not change that hit rate: the confidence level, not the sample size, sets how often you are right.
