Margin of error

Margin of error is something that helps us understand how accurate a survey or poll is. It's like a way of measuring how much we can trust what the survey is telling us. When a poll is conducted, it is impossible to get the exact answer that everyone in the population would give (because it would be too expensive and take too long to ask everyone), so that's why people take surveys.

The margin of error is a number that helps us figure out how reliable the survey is - it tells us how much the survey results could change if the same poll was taken again. For example, if the margin of error is 5%, it means that if the same poll is done again, the results could be up to 5% different.

It's important to remember that the margin of error shows how reliable the survey is - it doesn't show how accurate it is. That means the results of the survey could still be wrong, even if it has a small margin of error.
