They are presented in the form of relative standard errors, the standard errors divided by the estimated values to which they refer. In conjunction with its associated estimate, the relative standard error may be used to define confidence intervals, ranges that would include the comparable complete-coverage value for specified percentages of all...
Page 19 - The statistics in this report are estimates derived from a sample survey and may differ from the statistics which would have been obtained from a complete census using the same schedules and procedures. An estimate based on a sample survey is subfeet to both sampling error and nonsampling error. The "accuracy...
Page 13 - Disregarding this difference, the sampling error, or standard error of the estimate, is a measure of the variability among the estimates from all possible samples of the same size and design and, thus, is a measure of the precision with which an estimate from a particular sample approximates the results of a complete enumeration.
