| Note: The standard error is a measure of the variation among the estimates from all samples and thus is a measure of the precision with which an estimate from a particular sample approximates the average results of all possible samples. The coefficient of variation (CV) is the estimated standard error expressed as a percent of the estimated total or proportion. CV's for estimates in this table are displayed in table 5b. | |||||||||||||||
