    Reading 7: Estimation & Inference with Mara Ellington & Dorian Hayes.

    In this bite-sized CFA L1 episode, we turn symbols into intuition:

    • Sampling methods: simple random, stratified, cluster, convenience & judgmental.
    • Central Limit Theorem: why sample means of size n behave (almost) normal.
    • Resampling: using bootstrap & jackknife when theory won’t give you a clean formula.

    Quick, focused revision for your next Quant mock.

This is the cherry on top when it comes to studying for the CFA. Not sure how this doesn’t haven’t thousands of reviews. After reading a section these episodes further solidify everything. Thank you so much for creating this. I’ve listened to it commuting back and forth from work everyday since coming across it.
