Our calculator http://americanresearchgroup.com/moe.html gives the percentage points of error either side of a result for a chosen sample size. It is calculated at the standard 95% confidence level. Therefore we can be 95% confident that the sample result reflects the actual population result to within the margin of error. This calculator is based on a 50% result in a poll, which http://www.comresglobal.com/our-work/margin-of-error-calculator/ is where the margin of error is at its maximum. This means that, according to the law of statistical probability, for 19 out of every 20 polls the 'true' result will be within the margin of error shown.

Rumsey When you report the results of a statistical survey, you need to include the margin of error. The general formula for the margin of error for a sample proportion (if certain conditions are met) is where is the sample proportion, n is the sample size, and z* is the appropriate z*-value for your desired level of confidence (from the following table). z*-Values for Selected (Percentage) Confidence Levels Percentage Confidence z*-Value 80 1.28 90 1.645 95 1.96 98 2.33 99 2.58 Note that these values are taken from the standard normal (Z-) distribution. The area between each z* value and the negative of that z* value is the confidence percentage (approximately). For example, the area between z*=1.28 and z=-1.28 is approximately 0.80. Hence this chart can be expanded to other confidence percentages as well. The chart shows only the confidence percentages most commonly used. Here are the steps for calculating the margin of error for a sample proportion: Find the sample size, n, and the sample proportion. The sample proportion is the number in the sample with the characteristic of interest, divided by n. Multiply the sample proportion by Divide the result by n. Take the square root of the calculated value. You now have the standard error, Multiply the result by the appropriate z*-value for the confidence level desired. Refer to the above table for the appropriate z*-value. If the confidence level is 95%, the z*-value is 1.96. Here's an example: Suppose that the Gal
