- Statistical Considerations
Missing Values
Rows for "unknown" data are not shown but the values in those rows are included in the totals.
Weighted Estimates
The estimated percentages reported above have been produced by weighting the sample so that the results better represent the New Jersey adult population and to adjust for the probability of selection. The sample sizes reported in the table are unweighted. Estimates calculated using the unweighted sample sizes will not be accurate.
Denominator
Unless otherwise indicated, the denominator used for the calculation of these estimates includes all survey respondents except those with missing, don't know, and refused answers. (If the query was limited to a particular sub-population-group, only those respondents are included in the denominator.)
Statistical Reliability
The margin of error (MOE) is calculated as the standard error of the estimate multiplied by 1.96. A MOE of 3 percentage points or less is commonly used as a standard of reliability for opinion surveys, although the reliability of a measure should ideally be assessed in conjunction with the specific use to which it will be put.
The relative standard error (RSE) also provides a measure of reliability for statistical estimates. The RSE is computed by dividing the standard error of the estimate by the estimate itself (or its complement, if the estimate itself is a proportion greater than 0.5) and multiplying by 100 to convert it to a percentage. (Estimates with a RSE above 25%-30% are commonly flagged as "unreliable" for government surveys, although the reliability of a measure should ideally be assessed in conjunction with the specific use to which it will be put.)
Measure Notes
Data have been age-adjusted to the U.S. 2000 standard population.
