Definitions:

Margin of Error

An expression of the extent to which a sample statistic may differ from the true population parameter; it quantifies uncertainty in estimation.

Z Value

A measure in statistics that represents the number of standard deviations a data point is from the mean.

Confidence Interval

A range of values used in statistics that estimates where a true parameter value for a given population lies with a certain level of confidence.

Sample Standard Deviation

A measure of the dispersion or variation in a set of sample data, representing how much individual data points differ from the sample mean.
