Hello!

I have to estimate the uncertainty of the result of a survey where there sample size was defined to have an uncertainty of 2.76%, based on p a p value of 0.5.

The 2.76% error is calculated assuming a 50% population proportion, which is a worst case scenario assumption:

size sample 1260
confidence interval 1.96 (95 percent)
proportion: 50.00% error 2.76%

The result of the survey is 4%: with this population proportion what would be the error?:

size sample 1260
confidence interval 1.96 (95 percent)
proportion (p): 4.9% error ????

Thank you!

Hi, milanoleonardo,

what is your question about the design issues of Limesurvey?

Or do you want us to have a look into a statistic table?

Regards

This forum is about Limesurvey, the survey software.

Your questions is rather for a statistics forum.

But your question is rather about the results/outcome than the design of an online questionnaire or survey, right?
