How does the Sampling Error Calculator work?

SE = σ / √n Then: Margin of error = z × SE (confidence level z) Then: 95% CI: ±1.96 × SE for normal Then: Larger sample = smaller error.

Can you give an example of how to use the Sampling Error Calculator?

Example: Input σ=10, n=100 gives a result of SE=1.

Is the Sampling Error Calculator free to use?

Yes — completely free with no registration, download, or subscription required. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.
