Inference from sample statistics and margin of error: practice and worksheets
Use representative samples, estimates, confidence intervals, and margin of error to reason about populations.
Concept overview
Statistical inference uses a sample to estimate an unknown population value. A margin of error describes the expected sampling uncertainty, not every possible source of bias.
Key points
- Random selection supports generalizing from a sample to a population.
- Larger random samples generally produce smaller margins of error.
- Interpret an interval in the context of the population quantity being estimated.
Worked example
An estimate of 48% with a margin of error of 3 percentage points gives a plausible interval from 45% to 51%.
