Galvanize, the one mentioned in the article and markets the most, is vague on their curriculum but is more scikit-learn oriented. https://www.galvanize.com/san-francisco/data-science#curricu...

Metis, another known bootcamp, does explicitly mention things like k-means, which is something I didn't know: https://www.thisismetis.com/data-science-bootcamps

Having spoken to several students as well as looking at their GitHub projects from the galvanize data science program, I am fairly confident they cover those stats subjects in question.

Not to say that a data science boot camp is all you would ever need to know, but I would give them a little more credit in what they teach. That galvanize link is not really their syllabus, they probably keep it vague to force you to sign up to their email list to get the real one.
