Sampling Error

Definition:

The difference between results from the sample and the results that might be obtained from a complete census, inherent in the statistical processes of sampling. This margin of error does not imply a mistake, for probability sample error is calculable, based on sample size and method. Sampling error is also called variance, tolerance factor, or standard deviation.
