Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a confidence interval. The interval shown here is a 90 percent confidence interval. The stated range can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the lower and upper bounds contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/ACS/accuracy2004.pdf). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables. Explanation of Symbols: 1. An â*â entry in the lower and upper bound columns indicates that too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the lower and upper bounds. A statistical test is not appropriate. 2. An â**â 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. A statistical test is not appropriate. 3. An â-â entry in the estimate column indicates that no sample observations were available to compute an estimate. 4. An â-â following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution. 5. An â+â following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution. 6. An â***â entry in the lower and upper bound columns indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate. 7. An â*****â entry in the lower and upper bound columns indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test is not appropriate. 8. An âNâ entry in the estimate, lower bound, and upper bound columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small. 28 Kentucky 22.7 21.9 23.5 29 Nevada 22.6 22.0 23.2 30 South Carolina 22.4 21.8 23.0 31 Minnesota 22.3 21.4 23.2 32 Maine 21.9 21.3 22.5 32 Ohio 21.9 21.6 22.2 34 Indiana 21.8 21.2 22.4 35 Mississippi 21.7 20.6 22.8 36 Oregon 21.4 20.6 22.2 36 Vermont 21.4 20.8 22.0 38 Arkansas 20.8 20.3 21.3 39 Utah 20.7 19.5 21.9 40 Wisconsin 20.6 20.1 21.1 Figure E.1.
