a ratio of standard error to population mean
- Another point to note in the above table is how the standard error as a proportion of the population mean decreases as the sampling ratio of dip-tank areas increases. Contrast the ratio of 0.09 in the table above when 75% of dip-tank areas were sampled for Mayiwane Sub-region compared with the ratio of 0.18 when 31% of dip-tank areas were sampled in Lobamba Sub-region.
