Functions
Standard Error of Proportion
Standard Error of Proportion is the standard deviation of the sample proportion. It estimates the variability in proportions that could be expected if the study were repeated multiple times.
Symbol: SEP
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Sample Proportion
Sample Proportion is the ratio of number of successes in a sample to total size of sample. It provides an estimate of proportion of successes in population from which the sample is drawn.
Symbol: p
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Sample Size in Standard Error
Sample Size in Standard Error is the total number of individuals or items included in a specific sample. It influences the reliability and precision of statistical analyses.
Symbol: N(Error)
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)

How to Evaluate Standard Error of Proportion?

Standard Error of Proportion evaluator uses Standard Error of Proportion = sqrt((Sample Proportion*(1-Sample Proportion))/Sample Size in Standard Error) to evaluate the Standard Error of Proportion, Standard Error of Proportion formula is defined as the standard deviation of the sample proportion. It estimates the variability in proportions that could be expected if the study were repeated multiple times. Standard Error of Proportion is denoted by SEP symbol.

How to evaluate Standard Error of Proportion using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Standard Error of Proportion, enter Sample Proportion (p) & Sample Size in Standard Error (N(Error)) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Standard Error of Proportion

What is the formula to find Standard Error of Proportion?
The formula of Standard Error of Proportion is expressed as Standard Error of Proportion = sqrt((Sample Proportion*(1-Sample Proportion))/Sample Size in Standard Error). Here is an example- 0.129099 = sqrt((0.5*(1-0.5))/100).
How to calculate Standard Error of Proportion?
With Sample Proportion (p) & Sample Size in Standard Error (N(Error)) we can find Standard Error of Proportion using the formula - Standard Error of Proportion = sqrt((Sample Proportion*(1-Sample Proportion))/Sample Size in Standard Error). This formula also uses Square Root (sqrt) function(s).
