Surveying has been likened to taste-testing soup – a few spoonfuls tell what the whole pot tastes like. The key to the validity of any survey is randomness. Just as the soup https://www.isixsigma.com/tools-templates/sampling-data/margin-error-and-confidence-levels-made-simple/ must be stirred in order for the few spoonfuls to represent the whole pot, when sampling a population, the group must be stirred before respondents are selected. It is critical that respondents be chosen randomly so that the survey results can be generalized to the whole population. How well the sample represents the population is gauged by two important statistics – the survey's margin of error and confidence level. They tell us how well the spoonfuls represent the entire pot. For example, a survey may have a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent at a 95 percent level of confidence. These terms simply mean that if the survey were conducted 100 times, the data would be within a certain number of percentage points above or below the percentage reported in 95 of the 100 surveys. In other words, Company X surveys customers and finds that 50 percent of the respondents say its customer service is "very good." The confidence level is cited as 95 percen

We have conducted a telephone interview survey with a sample size nearer to nationally representative, then conducted the interview https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_can_I_determine_the_margin_of_error_power_of_a_survey_after_completion_of_data_collection by calling randomly selected respondents. The sample was not distributed proportionate to size. After assigning weight to the sample, how we can determine its margin of error and power?

The same website contains links to take you to a similar website to understand and calculate power. Hope this helps! Sep margin of error 19, 2014 Dr. Senthilvel Vasudevan · King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences Hi, Good Afternoon To determine the margin of error & power of a community based survey after completion of data collection. We can find it by the following two explanations. 1. First of all there is the margin of error (or confidence intervals). In short, this is the positive and negative deviation you allow on your survey results for the sample. Or, in other words, the deviation between the opinions of your respondents and the opinion of the entire population. An example will shed some light on this statistical explanation. Suppose you set your margin of error on 5%. If – let’s hope so! – 90% of your survey respondents like the ‘Fall 2013’ line, a 5% margin of error means that you can be ‘sure’ that between 85% (90%-5) and 95% (90%+5) of the entire population actually likes the ‘Fall 2013’ line. 2. Second there is the confidence level. This tells you how often the percentage of the population that likes the ‘Fall 2013’ line actually lies within the bo
