computer for weeks. The value of such work lies in the possibility of finding applications where bootstrapping solves (or less
gratifyingly, fails to solve) otherwise intractable problems.

Notes

1. X represents population density in people per square mile. Y represents metric tons of NOx emissions per square mile. The more crowded (also
poorer) areas are, of course, more polluted.

2. The mean bootstrap slope estimates are given.

3. Bootstrap standard errors are standard deviations of the bootstrap distributions; original-sample SE is that printed by regress.
