Margin of Error (%):
ⓘ
This is the statistically calculated degree of error (tolerance) in survey results. The industry standard is to set the Margin of error at 5%.
An example of the margin of error can be seen Where a company has undertaken a food safety culture survey and calculated a culture maturity score of 3.9, then with a 5% Margin of error the accuracy of the score statistically is between 4.095 and 3.705. By reducing the Margin of error to 1% the accuracy of the score statistically reduces to 3.938 and 3.861.
By reducing the margin of error, we can increase the accuracy of the survey results, but a reduced margin of error will require a larger number of questionnaires to be completed for the represented population size.
