|---|---|---|---|
| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | the difference between the results of random samples taken at the same time. | 11 sets | |
| 2 | the difference between the results of random samples taken at the same time | 9 sets | |
| 3 | the level of confidence in the findings of a public opinion poll. the more people interviewed, the more confident one can be of the results. | 8 sets | |
| 4 | use of a sample or subset of a population, an event, or some other aspect of nature for an experimental group that is not large enough to be representative of the whole. | 3 sets | |
| 5 | a polling error that arises on account of the small size of the sample | 3 sets | |
| 6 | the amount of error associated with a sample due to its deviation from the population | 3 sets | |
| 7 | the difference between the results of two surveys or samples | 3 sets | |
| 8 | the level of confidence in the findings of a public opinion poll. the more people interviewed, the more confident one can be of the results | 3 sets | |
| 9 | polling error that arises based on the small size of the sample | 2 sets | |
| 10 | part of a sampling process that results in a biased sample | 2 sets | |
| 11 | the level of confidence in the findings of a public opinion poll | 2 sets | |
| 12 | the level of confidence in the findings of a public opinion poll. | 2 sets | |
| 13 | a number that indicates within what range the results of a poll are accurate | 2 sets | |
| 14 | the difference between a sample estimate and a corresponding population parameter that arises because only a portion of a population is observed | 2 sets | |
| 15 | refers to a statistical error, usually within three percentage points, inherent in the polling process | 2 sets | |
| 16 | the different between the results of random samples taken at the same time | 2 sets | |
| 17 | the difference between a samples results and the true result if the entire population had been interviewed | 2 sets | |
| 18 | the difference between the sample statistic and its corresponding population parameter. | 2 sets | |
| 19 | how far off results may be | 1 set | |
| 20 | an error that occurs when a sample somehow does not represent the target population | 1 set | |
| 21 | difference among group means because the samples are not 100 percent representative of a population; the exten to which sample values (statistics) deviate from those that would be obtained from the entire populaiton (parameter) | 1 set | |
| 22 | the measure of the degree of accuracy of a poll base on the size of the sample. | 1 set | |
| 23 | the difference between data taken from a sample and data taken from the whole. | 1 set | |
| 24 | the difference between the characteristics of a sample and the characteristics of the population from which it was selected. the larger the sampling error, the less representative the sample, and thus the less generalizable the findings. | 1 set | |
| 25 | deviation of sample from population | 1 set | |
| 26 | difference between sample mean and population mean | 1 set | |
| 27 | survey issue due to can't select everybody in population | 1 set | |
| 28 | sample data is slightly different from the true population because of change alone | 1 set | |
| 29 | the difference between a sample's results and the true result if the entire population had been interviewed | 1 set | |
| 30 | margin of error in public opinion poll. | 1 set | |
| 31 | the magnitude of the difference between the characteristics of the sample and the characteristics of the population from which it was selected | 1 set | |
| 32 | random discrepancy between theoretical expectations and actual results | 1 set | |
| 33 | random difference that exists between the sample and the population (if you had the entire population then the sampling error would be zero) | 1 set | |
| 34 | the difference between a sample result and the true population result | 1 set | |
| 35 | difference between results derived from testing an entire group of events or individuals, and results derived from testing a subset of the group. | 1 set | |
| 36 | measure of the accuracy of a public opinion poll | 1 set | |
| 37 | occurs in finite populations; acts strongly on smaller populations - causes genetic drift. | 1 set | |
| 38 | refers to a statistical error, usually within three percentage points, inherent in the poling process. | 1 set | |
| 39 | error when a sample somehow does not represent the target population | 1 set | |
| 40 | fluctuation of value of statistic from one sample to another drawn from one sample to another drawn from same population | 1 set | |
