Standard error represents the dispersion of sample proportions across hypothetical repeat polls.
At a 95% confidence level, the poll has an expected margin of sampling error of ±3.10%.
If candidate A polls at 52%, the true population support is estimated to lie between 48.9% and 55.1% with 95% confidence.
| Input Scale | Standard Output Range | Variance Band | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Baseline | 0.00 – 25.00 | ±1.5% | Optimal for conservative estimations |
| Median / Standard | 25.00 – 100.00 | ±0.8% | Benchmark standard for commercial workflows |
| Elevated / High | 100.00 – 500.00 | ±0.4% | Recommended for high-throughput modeling |
| Extreme Maximum | > 500.00 | ±0.1% | Verify input constraints for boundary saturation |

Sampling error occurs naturally because a sample contains only a subset of the entire population. Even with completely unbiased, random sampling, natural variability between samples creates differences from the true parameter.
The FPC factor √[(N - n) / (N - 1)] is recommended when the sample represents more than 5% of the total population (n/N > 0.05), accounting for the diminishing variance when sampling without replacement from finite groups.
Sampling error is the mathematical uncertainty due to observing a sample rather than the whole population. Non-sampling errors arise from survey design flaws, non-response bias, measurement errors, or questionnaire wording.
