Is accuracy a measure of how close an answer is to the actual or expected value?
Precision and accuracy are two ways that scientists think about error. Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value. Precision refers to how close measurements of the same item are to each other. Precision is independent of accuracy.
Difference between standard error and sampling error?
Standard error is random error, represented by a standard deviation. Sampling error is systematic error, represented by a bias in the mean.
What happens to the standard error of the mean if the sample size is decreased?
The standard error increases.
What is the difference between standard deviation and margin of error?
Standard of deviation and margin of error are related in that they are both used in statistics. Level of confidence is usually shown as the Greek letter alpha when people conducting surveys allow for a margin of error - usually set at between 90% and 99%. The Greek letter sigma is used to represent standard deviation.
What is the standard error of the sampling distribution equal to when you do not know the population standard deviation?
You calculate the standard error using the data.
