Sampling Variability of the Marriage Statistics

In the tables which present statistics based on data from probability samples of marriage records, smah frequencies have high sampling variability, which limits their usefulness. The sampling errors are shown in table 4-7 in the TedhnicaI Appendix. It is suggested that any number smaller than those shown below be interpreted simply as “smah” rather than as any more precise value. The true number would very probably be within 60 percent of the figure shown below. Figures for States shown as ‘iero” indicate that ah records were tabulated and thus data are not subject to sampling variability.
