| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | the difference between the results of random samples taken at the same time. | 13 sets | |
| 2 | 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. | 9 sets | |
| 3 | the difference between the results of random samples taken at the same time | 9 sets | |
| 4 | 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 | 4 sets | |
| 5 | the difference between the results of two surveys or samples | 3 sets | |
| 6 | the amount of error associated with a sample due to its deviation from the population | 3 sets | |
| 7 | 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 | |
| 8 | the level of confidence in the findings of a public opinion poll | 2 sets | |
| 9 | part of a sampling process that results in a biased sample | 2 sets | |
| 10 | polling error that arises based on the small size of the sample | 2 sets | |
| 11 | the different between the results of random samples taken at the same time | 2 sets | |
| 12 | a number that indicates within what range the results of a poll are accurate | 2 sets | |
| 13 | a polling error that arises on account of the small size of the sample | 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 | the level of confidence in the findings of a public opinion poll. | 2 sets | |
| 16 | refers to a statistical error, usually within three percentage points, inherent in the polling process | 2 sets | |
| 17 | tells how far off the poll results results may be | 2 sets | |
| 18 | the difference between a samples results and the true result if the entire population had been interviewed | 2 sets | |
| 19 | margin of error in public opinion poll. most polls are accurate within a margin of four percent | 2 sets | |
| 20 | the difference between the sample statistic and its corresponding population parameter. | 2 sets | |
| 21 | the measure of the degree of accuracy of a poll base on the size of the sample. | 1 set | |
| 22 | how far off results may be | 1 set | |
| 23 | an error that occurs when a sample somehow does not represent the target population | 1 set | |
| 24 | the amount of error between a sample statistic and population parameter | 1 set | |
| 25 | difference between results form a subset and results form the whole - happens most often when sample sizes are small; the more trials, the smaller the sampling error | 1 set | |
| 26 | the difference between a sample result and the true population result | 1 set | |
| 27 | the difference between data taken from a sample and data taken from the whole. | 1 set | |
| 28 | 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 | |
| 29 | random discrepancy between theoretical expectations and actual results | 1 set | |
| 30 | margin of error in public opinion poll. | 1 set | |
| 31 | the difference between the results of two surveys or samples. for example, if one random sample shows that 60% of all americans like cats and another random sample taken at the same time shows that 65% do, the random sampling error is 5%. | 1 set | |
| 32 | difference between sample mean and population mean | 1 set | |
| 33 | deviation of sample from population | 1 set | |
| 34 | the magnitude of the difference between the characteristics of the sample and the characteristics of the population from which it was selected | 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 | the difference between the sampling results and the true populations results | 1 set | |
| 37 | 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 | |
| 38 | error in sampling/ measures the level of "confidence you have in you sample. ex: you have a 5% sample error, then you have 95% correct, your confidence level is 95% | 1 set | |
| 39 | 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 | |
| 40 | measure of the accuracy of a public opinion poll | 1 set | |
