What would it mean If the sampling error was zero?
The sample consisted of the entire population.
What is incorrect sampling?
Incorrect sampling is giving account of erroneous information. An example of incorrect sampling is an audit of merchandise in a retail store by an independent person with the risk of human error. A solution to avoiding the risk of incorrect sampling in the audit would be to have a team execute the task so information can be compared.
When is census necessary instead of sampling?
census is conducted for group data so if it is a sampling data is taken it would lead to lot of non sampling errors
Why is lower percentage error better?
I would have thought this blindingly obvious but no matter, a lower percentage error is better because it means your approximation to a solution is closer to the real answer than an approximation with a higher error.
What are the differences between census and sampling?
A census would get data from 100% of the population (or at least close to 100%). Sampling would be to get data from some of the population (much less than 100%).
What would it mean If the sampling error was zero?
The sample consisted of the entire population.
How can one avoid sampling error?
To avoid sampling error, you should ensure that your sample is representative of the population, use random sampling techniques, increase the sample size when possible, and use stratified sampling if your population can be divided into subgroups. Additionally, verify the reliability of your data collection methods to minimize errors.
What would a sampling error of zero mean?
The sampling error is the error one gets from observing a sample instead of the whole population. The bigger it is, the less faith you should have that your sample represents the true value in the population. If it is zero, your sample is VERY representative of the population and you can trust that your result is true of the population.

What is the Formula for sampling error related to biostatistics?
The formula for sampling error is calculated as the difference between a population parameter and a sample statistic. It is typically represented as the margin of error, which is calculated by multiplying the standard error by a critical value from the standard normal distribution. Sampling error quantifies the amount of variability expected between different samples drawn from the same population.
When could the sampling error be zero?
I believe you are considering the sampling error as calculated from data. I will give you some examples: If you get the exactly same response from all participants in a survey, you will calculate zero sampling error. For example, if I ask 10 people if Obama Barack is the President of the US, I would probably get 10 "yes" responses. Now the answer was well known, so I would expect very few "no" response. If your measurements are not very sensitive or are recorded with a lack of precision, then there can be zero sampling error. For example, I take the body temperature of students at the college and consider any temperature from 97 to 99 degree F to be normal. I find all students in my sample have normal temperatures. So, zero sampling error can occur because a) sample is small, b) variation in response is either non-existent or very small. In theoretical calculations, where sample error is based on the probability distribution of the population, one can calculate for discrete variables, the probability that a sample error will be zero.
Can percent error be negative?
Sometimes you will take the absolute value of the percent error because your estimated number could be less than the theoretical, meaning the calculation is negative. But an absolute value is always positive. A percent error can be left as a negative though, and this would be perfectly acceptable (or even preferred) depending on what you're doing.Answer:In the sciences, a negative percent error indicates a low result. If you have a 0% error, then your observed (lab) result was exactly the same as the theoretical result. A 5% error could mean that your observed result was a little high. A negative percent error is possible; if your observed results were lower than the expected, then you would have a negative percent error. A -5% error could mean that your results were a little low. Having a negative percent error isn't worse than positive percent error -- it could mean the same thing. If you were to have a choice in having a 20% error and a -5% error, the negative percent error is more accurate.
Percent error formula?
Divide the calculated or estimated error by the magnitude of the measurement. Take the absolute value of the result, that is, if it is negative, convert to positive. This would make the percent error = | error / measurement |.

If you feel green around the gills would it be positive or negative?
Negative. It means you feel Noxious or sick.
If repeating an experiment many times with different samples what values for the sample means would be possible?
The answer depends on the population and is described by the sampling distribution of the mean.
