Margin of error

Terry,

Margin of Error is an often misunderstood term. Since my partner just struggled through statistics, I'm now familiar with how confusing it can be!

I just wanted to point out that your comment: "the difference of opposition between a vehicle registration surcharge and a bike license fee is only one to three percentage points. That is less than the 3.3 percent margin of error for the survey."

improperly may lead some to think those percentage points could vary (+ or -) 3.3 percentages.

Thanks.
