Frequently Asked Questions
What is a point estimate?
A point estimate is a single value used to estimate an unknown population parameter, calculated from sample data.
How accurate are point estimates?
Accuracy depends on sample size, population variability, and confidence level. Larger samples generally provide more precise estimates.
What affects the margin of error?
Margin of error is affected by sample size, confidence level, and population standard deviation. Larger samples typically reduce the margin of error.
