Standard Error Confidence Interval Calculator
The 95% confidence interval gives you a range. The 2 sigma of a standard deviation also gives you a range of ~95%. Can someone shed some light on how they are different? confidence-interval standard-deviation share|improve this question edited May 9 '15 at 11:54 Andy 11.7k114671 asked May 9 '15 at 11:43 Berry 6112 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote There are two things here : The "2 sigma rule" where sigma refers standard error of measurement confidence interval to standard deviation is a way to construct tolerance intervals for normally distributed data, not confidence intervals (see this link to learn about the difference). Said shortly, tolerance intervals refer to the distribution inside the population, whereas confidence intervals refer to a degree of certainty regarding an estimation. In case you meant standard error instead of standard deviation (which is what I understood at first), then the "2 sigma rule" gives a 95% confidence interval if your data are normally distributed (for example, if the conditions of the Central Limit Theorem apply and your sample size is great enough). share|improve this answer edited May 9 '15 at 15:57 answered May 9 '15 at 12:23 Antoine R 485311 2 This doesn't appear to address the question itself, which asks for the distinction between a confidence interval and a "2 sigma ... range" (which is something that is closer to a tolerance interval). –whuber♦ May 9 '15 at 13:18 That's not how I understood the question : it seemed to me that it was unclear to the author why confidence intervals were not always constructed using the "2 sigma rule". Maybe @Berry could edit his question to make it clearer ? Plus, (but it might be a personal bias from being used to work with sampling) when I see $[ \hat{\mu} - 2 \hat{\sigma} ; \hat{\mu} + 2 \hat{\sigma}]$, it makes me think of a confidence interval (typically und

constitutes an 8% change in 3-year retention rate. However, the 8% difference is based on random sampling, and is only an estimate http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/151541/confidence-intervals-vs-standard-deviation of the true difference. What is the likely size of the error of estimation? The calculation of the standard error for the difference in proportions parallels the calculation for a difference in means. (7.5) where and are the SE's of and , respectively. http://www.stat.wmich.edu/s216/book/node85.html For the retention rates, let with standard error and with standard error . Then the difference .74-.66=.08 will have standard error We now state a confidence interval for the difference between two proportions. The SE for the .08 change in retention rates is .045, so the .08 estimate is likely to be off by some amount close to .045. However, the 95% margin of error is approximately 2 SE's, or .090. A 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions p1-p2 is or . Coverting to percentages, the difference between retention rates for 1989 and 1999 is 8% with a 95% margin of error of 9%.

on October 8, 2011 | Leave a comment This post covers the 3 applications of standard error required for the MFPH Part A; mean, proportions and differences between proportions (and their corresponding confidence intervals)… a) What is https://beanaroundtheworld.wordpress.com/2011/10/08/statistical-methods-standard-error-and-confidence-intervals/ the etandard error (SE) of a mean? The SE measures the amount of variability https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxH7Ze9LN_w in the sample mean. It indicated how closely the population mean is likely to be estimated by the sample mean. (NB: this is different from Standard Deviation (SD) which measures the amount of variability in the population. SE incorporates SD to assess the difference beetween sample and population measurements due to sampling variation) Calculation of SE confidence interval for mean = SD / sqrt(n) …so the sample mean and its SE provide a range of likely values for the true population mean. How can you calculate the Confidence Interval (CI) for a mean? Assuming a normal distribution, we can state that 95% of the sample mean would lie within 1.96 SEs above or below the population mean, since 1.96 is the 2-sides 5% point of the standard normal error confidence interval distribution. Calculation of CI for mean = (mean + (1.96 x SE)) to (mean - (1.96 x SE)) b) What is the SE and of a proportion? SE for a proprotion(p) = sqrt [(p (1 - p)) / n] 95% CI = sample value +/- (1.96 x SE) c) What is the SE of a difference in proportions? SE for two proportions(p) = sqrt [(SE of p1) + (SE of p2)] 95% CI = sample value +/- (1.96 x SE) Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...
