Illustration <strong>of</strong> the Computation <strong>of</strong> the St<strong>and</strong>ard Error <strong>of</strong> an Estimated AverageSuppose that the estimated number <strong>of</strong> the average days per angler age 16 years old <strong>and</strong> older for all fishing was 16.7 days.Using formulas (1) <strong>and</strong> (2) above, we compute the st<strong>and</strong>ard error on total days, 553,841,000, <strong>and</strong> total anglers, 33,112,000, tobe 20,329,124 <strong>and</strong> 693,033, respectively. The approximate st<strong>and</strong>ard error on the estimated average <strong>of</strong> 16.7 days isTherefore, the 95-percent confidence interval on the estimated average <strong>of</strong> 16.7 days is from15.8 to 17.6, i.e., 16.7 ± 1.96 x 0.45.15.8 to 17.6, i.e., 16.7 ± 1.96 x 0.45.126 2011 <strong>National</strong> <strong>Survey</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fishing</strong>, <strong>Hunting</strong>, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Wildlife</strong>-Associated Recreation U.S. Fish <strong>and</strong> <strong>Wildlife</strong> Service <strong>and</strong> U.S. Census Bureau
