Sampling Error<br />

The margin <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sampling error for <strong>the</strong> total survey <strong>of</strong> 820 <strong>Jewish</strong> households is +/- 3.2<br />

percentage points. Within <strong>the</strong> RDD portion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sample, <strong>the</strong> margin <strong>of</strong> error is +/- 8.2<br />

percentage points.<br />

The margins <strong>of</strong> error for <strong>the</strong> population estimates by region are as follows:<br />

Please note that <strong>the</strong> margin <strong>of</strong> error estimates do not account for sources <strong>of</strong> error o<strong>the</strong>r than<br />

sampling error, such as self-selection bias, attrition bias, or exclusion bias.<br />

The overall margin <strong>of</strong> error estimates are <strong>the</strong> most conservative estimates <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> margin <strong>of</strong> error<br />

and apply when percentages are close to 50 percent. As percentages move closer to 0 or 100,<br />

<strong>the</strong> margin <strong>of</strong> error shrinks. Please see <strong>the</strong> table below for guidance. Also remember that subpopulations<br />

will have a larger margin <strong>of</strong> error.<br />
