Estimates of Sampling Error
These types of error are due to studying only a part of a social base. Since this survey is sample based, the data will be affected by sampling errors due to not using the whole frame of society and differences may appear compared with the actual values that could be obtained through a census. For this survey, variance calculations were made for the amounts of water consumed and the main source of supply in economic establishments by region and activity.
