Margin of error quantifies the uncertainty in poll or survey results. Often expressed as z*(σ/√n) for large samples, it indicates how far the sample statistic might deviate from the true population parameter. If a political poll with 1,000 respondents yields 55% support for a candidate, the margin of error might be ±3%, meaning actual support could be between 52% and 58%. Understanding the margin of error fosters realistic interpretations of poll outcomes and confidence in decision-making. It underscores why certain poll differences might be “within the margin of error,” preventing hasty conclusions.
