Note: The standard error is a measure of the variation among the estimates from all possible 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. Each column in this table contains the coefficients of variation that have been computed for the estimated amounts in table 3a.
