Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign standard error of binary variable up Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question Anybody can answer The best answers are voted up and rise to the top Standard error for the mean of a sample of binomial random variables up vote 21 down vote favorite 8 Suppose I'm running an experiment that can have 2 outcomes, and I'm assuming that the underlying "true" distribution of the standard error binary distribution 2 outcomes is a binomial distribution with parameters $n$ and $p$: ${\rm Binomial}(n, p)$. I can compute the standard error, $SE_X = \frac{\sigma_X}{\sqrt{n}}$, from the form of the variance of ${\rm Binomial}(n, p)$: $$ \sigma^{2}_{X} = npq$$ where $q = 1-p$. So, $\sigma_X=\sqrt{npq}$. For the standard error I get: $SE_X=\sqrt{pq}$, but I've seen somewhere that $SE_X = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n}}$.

If you have $n$ independent samples from a ${\rm Binomial}(k,p)$ distribution, the variance of their sample mean is $$ {\rm var} \left( \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{i} \right) = \frac{1}{n^2} \sum_{i=1}^{n} {\rm var}( X_{i} ) = \frac{ n {\rm var}(X_{i}) }{ n^2 } = \frac{ {\rm var}(X
uses the proportion estimated in a statistical sample and allows for sampling error. There are several formulas for a binomial confidence interval, but all of them rely on the assumption of a

binomial distribution. In general, a binomial distribution applies when an experiment is repeated binomial standard error calculator a fixed number of times, each trial of the experiment has two possible outcomes (labeled arbitrarily success and failure),
Bernoulli Standard Deviation
the probability of success is the same for each trial, and the trials are statistically independent. A simple example of a binomial distribution is the set of various possible outcomes, and their http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/29641/standard-error-for-the-mean-of-a-sample-of-binomial-random-variables probabilities, for the number of heads observed when a (not necessarily fair) coin is flipped ten times. The observed binomial proportion is the fraction of the flips which turn out to be heads. Given this observed proportion, the confidence interval for the true proportion innate in that coin is a range of possible proportions which may contain the true proportion. A 95% confidence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_proportion_confidence_interval interval for the proportion, for instance, will contain the true proportion 95% of the times that the procedure for constructing the confidence interval is employed. Note that this does not mean that a calculated 95% confidence interval will contain the true proportion with 95% probability. Instead, one should interpret it as follows: the process of drawing a random sample and calculating an accompanying 95% confidence interval will generate a confidence interval that contains the true proportion in 95% of all cases. The odds that any fairly drawn sample from all cases will be inside the confidence range is 95% likely, so there is a 5% risk that a fairly drawn sample will not be inside a 95% confidence interval. There are several ways to compute a confidence interval for a binomial proportion. The normal approximation interval is the simplest formula, and the one introduced in most basic statistics classes and textbooks. This formula, however, is based on an approximation that does not always work well. Several competing formulas are available that perform better, especially for situations with a small sample size and a proportion very close to zero or
