Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the variation is measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of the percentages expressing the results. For the interviews conducted in this particular study, the chances are 95 in 100 that a survey result does not vary, plus or minus, by more than 2.2 percentage points for the Retail and Restaurant Surveys and by more than 1.6 percentage points for the Consumers Survey from the result that would be obtained if interviews had been conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the sample.
