Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability.
The degree of uncertainty for an estimate is represented through the
use of a confidence interval. The confidence interval computed here is
a 90 percent confidence interval and can be interpreted roughly as
providing 90 percent certainty that the true number falls between the
lower and upper bounds.
- An '*' entry in the lower and upper bound columns indicates
that there were too few sample observations to compute a stable
estimate of the standard error and thus the lower and upper
bounds.
- An '**' entry in the lower and upper bound columns indicates
that no sample observations were available to compute a standard
error and thus the lower and upper bounds.
- An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that no sample
observations were available to compute an estimate.
- An '*****' entry in the lower and upper bound columns indicates
that the estimate is controlled for single year products and
all estimates are controlled for averages and percent changes.
A statistical test is not appropriate.
