A consumer advocate is comparing income for a wide variety of jobs between the South and the Northeast.The average income of a simple random sample of 800 jobs in the Northeast is compared to the average income of a simple random sample of 750 jobs in the South.From the collected data,950 resamples are taken.Each time,750 incomes are selected with replacement from the data collected from the South,and 800 incomes are selected with replacement from the data collected from the Northeast.The distribution of the difference in means based on the resamples is shown below (in thousands of dollars).

The mayor of Beltsville has commissioned a research company to estimate the average age of the houses in a large historical district in the town.Data on 120 randomly selected properties are collected,and a histogram of the sample data shows a right-skewed distribution with several large outliers.The person leading this project decides that the standard t procedures should not be used.He decides to use the 25% trimmed mean as a measure of center.The leader of the project then decides to bootstrap the 25% trimmed mean.The bootstrap distribution is shown below.Some summary measures are given as well.
