How many test executions are required (and how many must pass) to say my software works 90% ...

You need to determine a margin of error. The margin of error tells you, roughly, the likely amount of sampling error from a sample of observations. … Footnotes The actual margin of error for a binomial random variable is $$ z_{1-\alpha/2} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{N}} $$ and is equal to the radius of the Wald confidence interval for the binomial …

Group Sample size

I assume a standard normal distribution will fit I initially set a margin of error at 5%, with a 90% confidence level and assumed a 50% standard deviation, which resulted in a sample size of around 270 …

Why are confidence intervals valid? [duplicate]

By definition, our confidence level will represent the percentage of total samples from our sample distribution that are within the margin of error of the true population statistic. … In these cases, we use the standard error to approximate the standard deviation: $\frac{s_x}{\sqrt(n)}$. …

Correlation for Small Dataset?

In line with the answer @Glen_b in the worst case (true correlation is zero) you need 300-400 observations to well-estimate $r$, e.g., to within a margin of error of 0.1 with 0.95 compatibility. … That is when the margin of error gets closer to 0.1, for example. …

How to express the uncertainty in the OR of a right-tailed Fisher's exact test?

Many OR (odds ratio) visualizations show 95% confidence intervals expressing uncertainty like on the left panel in figure below. … So how can appropriate confidence intervals or error margins be calculated, or uncertainty properly be expressed in visualization respectively? …

Error Propagation of standard deviation?

Your number of statistical degrees of freedom should be 1 (since you only have two samples), and you'll have to choose a suitable two-sided confidence interval. … These two values allow you to retrieve the correction factor in the table (e. g., 6.314 for a 95% confidence interval) and to calculate the corrected error margins. …

Can you build up statistical validity with multiple month's worth of the same survey questions?

The idea being that 1500 surveys with a 12% response rate is much healthier for determining a positive confidence level and margin of error compared to a 12% response rate for 750. …

Sample size for survey

My survey should be done by enough people so each one of these two groups of people are significantly represented, with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 5%, although these values can … I know that the more margin of error I have, the smaller the sample. Up to which value could it be justified? …

Why do physicists use sigma while biologists use p values/posterior probabilities?

From these, she computes the temperature coefficient with three significant digits and a relative confidence interval of about one percent. … Now, if you are used to thinking of error margins, σ is only a small extension of this, whereas p values and similar are a completely new world. Physics experiments can easily provide a lot of data. …

binomial data, margin of error, standard error of a sample

The margin of error for some level of confidence (say 95%) is the critical value, multiplied by the standard error. … Multiplying these two together gives $0.017=1.7\%$, which is approximately the 2% margin of error stated in the article. …

binomial data, margin of error, standard error of a sample

But the margin of error is 3%). Trying to understand how this "margin of error" is calculated I searched the internet and came across this article. … Using a level of confidence of 95%, they can determine that the margin of error is 2%. Anything between 65% and 69% (67% +/- 2) accurately describes the entire customer database. …

Difference in margin of error for boostrap and parametric approaches in survey

I'd like to know if using a bootstrap-derived margin-of-error for a simple survey is appropriate. I'm worried that the estimate is too small. … When I use a more traditional parametric approach, I get a larger margin of error (4.3%). …
