The margin of error stood at approximately 8 per cent.

But Israel s margin for strategic error will shrink even further.

The margin for macroeconomic, prudential, and operating error is similarly small.

The ECB is not the old Bundesbank, which had such public support and trust in Germany that it could get away with almost anything.

So in this case, the absolute margin of error is 5 people, but the percent relative margin of error is 10 (because 5 people are ten percent of 50 people).

The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in a survey's results.

This level is the probability that a margin of error around the reported percentage would include the true percentage.

Unfortunately, the authorities do not have much margin for error in working to counteract the damage done by the international crisis.

The error margin is narrow. Here I put life expectancy at birth, from 30 years in some countries up to about 70 years.

In media reports of poll results, the term usually refers to the maximum margin of error for any percentage from that poll.

The gap between the Yes and No sides remains within the margin of error and could easily reverse itself, as it did in the weeks leading up to the June referendum.

As another example, if the true value is 50 people, and the statistic has a confidence interval radius of 5 people, then we might say the margin of error is 5 people.

For example, if the true value is 50 percentage points, and the statistic has a confidence interval radius of 5 percentage points, then we say the margin of error is 5 percentage points.

If an approximate confidence interval is used (for example, by assuming the distribution is normal and then modeling the confidence interval accordingly), then the margin of error may only take random sampling error into account.

Pınar Selek was not only at the wrong place at the wrong time. She was also born in the wrong country.

Fadil was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

They've slept with the wrong person. They've taken the wrong substance.
